You have to set the position of the memorystream to 0 before using it in your FileStreamResult, otherwise it will be read from current position (IE the end of the stream).

stream.Position = 0;
return File(stream, "text/plain", name);

Just had the same thing.

I know this thread is ancient, just hoping to aid others having the same issue.
