I'll do my best to prepare test case, but at the minute I don't have time for this.

Anyway my colleague pointed that my suggestion was not 100% compliant with RFC:

He pointed that we can send/retransmit ACK only for the last expected block that we received. So I can rewrite suggestion in following way.

If we are waiting for block X and receive block Y that is the expected one, we should send ACK and increase X (which is already implemented). Otherwise drop the packet and don't increase retry counter.

According to this, I am attaching a new version of patch. Hopefully last one :)
