DataInputStream / DataOutputStream - PS How do i offer my duke dollars?

Question

I have written a client server program. The client program establishes a URL connection to a ServerSocket. I am using a DataOutputStream to pass a large amount of data back to the client. The problem is that it appears that every now and then a byte is skipped or lost. Here is the important part of the code. (psudo) This loss appears to happen when I read the bytes into the Buf Array.
On the ServerSide :
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(os));
while (notcomplete){
       dos.writeInt(acuiredInt);
       dos.writeLong(acuiredLong);
        byte[] acuiredBuf ;
        for(int i=0; i < acuiredBuf; i++)
                  dos.writeByte( acuiredBuf) ;
On the Client Side
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(os));
while (notcomplete){
       dis.readInt(acuiredInt);
       dis.readLong(acuiredLong);
        byte[] acuiredBuf  = new byte[1024];  //always the same size
        for(int i=0; i < acuiredBuf; i++)
                  dis.readByte( ) ;
}I know that one byte is being lost because I tried to send the same int value acros constantly, and then instead of calling readInt, i called readByte four times (four bytes of an int) , and gradually everytime the mysterios 'loss' happend, the values would shift. See my example:
1 => 0 , 0 , 0 , 10
2 => 0 , 0 , 10 , 020
3 => 0 , 10, 152, 102
4 => 10 , 82, 152, 102 etc.
1 <= This displays lets say 500 times and is the correct Representation of the int then...
2 <= The "020" is not correct, it should be like the line above it. This means that the first 0 has disapeared. (But when i check the last entry in the Buf, the 0 is there) . Afer even some more time it becomes the 3rd line. and the first two zeros are the last two entries in the Buf array.
So i dont' know if i'm losing information? Using the streams wrong, or how to fix it. All i want to do is pass a large amount of information from the server to the client.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know it is not the real code, thats why i said it was psueudo code, because it. For a better explanation of the problem please could you check:
