Your article is really interesting! I did not know about Aspera before reading it.

I did not have any idea that changing protocol will have this amount of benefit in data transmission. Also amused that no one have not solved it in Open Source world.

The worst part is that Aspera is actually a proprietary fork of a Free Software project that IBM purchased and then strong-armed institutions into using until it became an industry standard.

Ha, I wrote that article while I was dealing with all this stuff. FASP is the proprietary fork of UDT.
