where is the bytestotal

i must be missing something, but i need the bytestotal of the video i want to download (for progress as you might have guessed) and i cannot find anything in the info objects i am getting. ( via getInfo() ) besides that: the info-event never gets fired. simplified code would be

var stream = fs.createWriteStream('video' + '.' + type));
stream.on('drain', function(){
            trace('drain')
        });
        stream.on('error', function(){
            trace('error')
        });
        stream.on('info', function(){
            trace('info')
        });
        stream.on('end', function(){
            trace('end')
        });
        stream.on('finish', function(){
            trace('fin')
        });
        setInterval(function(){
            trace(stream);
        }, 5000);
        ytdl(url, options).pipe(stream);

I’ve just wrote a small script that uses the progress module to show the download progress. I hope you like the song 😉
