The time spent is not useful information. "attempting" is not a
useful description of anything. It does not say what you did. It does
not say what happened when you did it. The TFTP recovery scheme is a
multi-step procedure which offers multiple opportunities for user input,
hence user error. By itself, saying that you "attempted" it doesn't say
much. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual
results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than
vague descriptions or interpretations. Especially when using a
command-line program, copy+paste is your friend.
