Description francesco 2011-01-10 10:12:49 UTC

Tftp client timeout after a very long time (more than five minutes) and not in the normal way if the progress bar is enabled (tested with busybox 1.8.1).

If the progress bar is enabled everything works just fine.

To reproduce just start a tftp download and unplug the network cable.

this is the expected behavior when progress bar is disabled:

tftp -g -r file.bin -l /tmp/aa 10.0.0.105
eth0: link down
tftp: timeout
