Yes, you are correct.  It looks like the server Anselm used was fairly
simple.  There were a number of issues that had to be resolved related
to the way that server was responding.  It looks like the server kept
the port that it was initially contacted on so the code did not extract
the src port from the udp).  

I am now able to download the file, but I think there are some bugs in
the code to allocate and reassemble the file since I get an invalid
file.

I should sort it out fairly soon.  Since my code is a hack of the
current code, I would recommend either a rewrite of the current
implementation or IMO a better solution: adding the multicast option to
the standard tftp code.  If I understand what I have seen so far, it
should be a fairly minor change.

Comments?
