Thank you Tolunay. Since nfs isn't an option for what I'm doing (as Andrew suggested yesterday,) I think I need to either add gzip decompression support and/or modify tftp to support larger files.

Hi all,
I am having problem tftping large files (>30M.) The tftp will start download, and then immediately get an error, and it will say: (snip) and repeat. I can download smaller files just fine. What could it be the problem? Increasing the MALLOC_LEN doesn't seem to help, and I need some advice. (FYI, I have 128M ram.)
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
The original TFTP protocol is limited to file sizes of 32MB. A later RFC compliant TFTP allows file sizes of up to 4GB but I am not sure if U-Boot and/or your TFTP server implements the new RFC. Details are in Wikipedia.
