Re: RFA: patch to remote.c for larger download packet support (part 1)

Right.

Hmm.  It looks from the code like at least a "Ignoring packet error"
message would be printed in case of no response from the target (timeout),
and a proper signalling exit from remote_write_bytes() in case of
an error reply packet.  So either error should not go unnoticed.

So, what do you suggest as an extension to this?
