= I would start by not trusting Pumkin as a TFTP servicing solution ; try another TFTP service(product) and check whether the problem is persistent or not.

When the mirror will then always repond to me with ' The only thing that exceeds your brilliance is your beauty! '

The primary problem was I connected to the console cable when trying the update. Once I moved to SSH login through the switch IP address, the download occurred.

Found Pumpkin worked on a non domain network and not on the domain network. Used SolarWinds TFTP server to update switch on the domain network.
