FYI: I use the 3Com TFTP server and it also craps out after 32MB. Ben
there, done that with our Sup720s.

Get a TFTP server that won't quit... STOP using Xmodem, waste of your time.
3com made one that works very well... Heard pumpkin works, not sure though
never tried

Hey group,

I have a Cisco 3845 and the IOS image in flash is either corrupted or has a
bug so the router is contiuosly reloading itself.
I tried downloading a new image using TFTP in rommon mode but unfortuantely
it keeps timing out. For some reason TFTP cannot handle large file
transfers.

Is there another way I can download a new image? Right now I am using XMODEM
and its probably going to take 13 hours to finish.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
