I am sorry for being  vague, I hope this example will make it a bit more
clear:

        if (image_valid == 0)

        }

        {
             /* LET ME OUT! I do not want to go back to net.c caller,
bacause I do not know how to tell him it was TIMEOUT.
                 All I can do is NetState = NETLOOP_FAIL. Not much of an
info. */
            printf("TIMEOUT error\n");
            exit (-1);
        }*
    } else {

        NetSetTimeout (TIMEOUT * CFG_HZ, TftpTimeout);
        TftpSend ();
    }
}
What you are doing here makes no sense.
Image handling has no place in the networking code.
If you need image download with error handling, then implement this on
the command level as a command sequence in an environment variable, or
as a shell script.
Best regards,
