[c-nsp] Slow IOS transfers on 2811

[Church, Chuck]

That's why I like the SolarWinds TFTP server.  It's got a bytes/percent
progress indicator.  Of course if you're running a TFTP server as a
service/daemon, you're probably out of luck...

Okay, I feel like a dork. Here's what I think is happening. It appears
that on this platform and/or IOS , the "!" symbol represents a larger
chunk of data than it has in the past. I'm used to seeing my screen
fill up with exclamation points as I do file transfers over a LAN. In
this case, because the progress indicators must represent larger
chunks of data, they're appearing more slowly and that made me think
the file transfer was going slow. It turns out that it wasn't.

I hadn't been allowing the file transfers to complete because I
thought they were progressing so slowly. Had I not been so impatient I
would have soon realized that the file transfer was going just fine,
it only looked slow. I just used FTP to download the 28 MB image in
about 70 seconds. In addition, instead of the usual screen full of
exclamation points, I just had a single row of them.

So, anyway, it was just my assumption that things were broken but they
appear to be just fine.

Thanks for the help!
John
