Hello,

I'm using CURL 7.16.2. I'm aware of the old 32Mb TFTP file size limitation, but my TFTP server supports large files. Using command line tftp I'm able to get a file over 600Mb from the same server, witout loosing any bytes. But using curl, if the file is over 40Mb it starts loosing bytes. Here you can see I pulled a file that was 40Mb:

# curl tftp://acsview-build1/40mbfile > /tmp/40mbfile

      % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

        0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:58 --:--:-- 0

# ll /tmp/40mbfile

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40001150 May 19 21:41 /tmp/40mbfile

The TFTP-pulled file shows 40001150 bytes, but listing the file on the TFTP server shows it's larger (40001662 bytes):

acsview-build1:/tftpboot> ll /tftpboot/40mbfile

-rw-r--r-- 1 eddiem eng 40001662 May 19 21:40 /tftpboot/40mbfile

acsview-build1:/tftpboot>

I notices as the files get larger, the loss gets larger. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Any remedy to this?
