I second that - especially on high latency paths, copying through FTP or HTTP 
is more responsive and robust than TFTP.

I also make a habit of squeeze-ing flash before TFTPing - a bunch of 3500XL 
switches were painfully slow at copying IOS off a TFTP server until I squeezed 
the flash, then they worked like a dream.
