Platform-wise it needs to work on Mac OSX at the client end, at the server end either Mac OSX or Windows.
It does not need to be "friendly" to other users on a shared connection - in fact I want it to suck up all the available bandwidth if possible. It can be server-client based with different software for server and client, or it can be peer-to-peer. work from anywhere to anywhere - ideally. I need something that will traverse firewalls, achieve optimal speeds for any given connection (and work over a variety of such connections), and require no router network setup at each end - i.e. Which may or may not be the answer - I don't know - but I suspect FTP over TCP does not obtain optimal speed in such conditions. So I have been looking for a better system of file transfer, and in doing so I've come across various options for transferring files over UDP instead of TCP. The key aspect is that I DO NOT have control over any of these networks. Other times the ISP network infrastructure is just badly planned or implemented. Sometimes I also suspect weird traffic-shaping is also going on.
overloaded cell towers) and sometimes the latency is very high indeed (e.g. Sometimes the connections are congested (e.g. Files are sent over a variety of internet connections including internet cafes, 3G and satellite. I regularly have to send image and video files, ranging from 1MB to 200MB half way around the world, and currently we use FTP. Offtopic I know, but as we have some very experienced networking guys on this here friendly forum, I thought maybe someone might have some experience with this, as I am in no way expert on such matters.
