[drats_users] File transfeer tests... and problems.

[IZ5FSA]

Here the very latest "proof test session" on file-transfer performed by me, 
Massimo IK5PWA and Mauro IW5CWA.

> Hello Dan,

Files or images... same errors.

'Small' means less then 350Kbytes for images and 700Kbytes for text or binaries.

> We tried an executable file size 1.5 MB

Yes, 0Kbytes of lenght!!!

> One time transmitting station completed the transfer while the receiving
 > station declare a failed transfer with a file '.part' full but unusable.

This is the very latest test case.
