How we built a new, fast file transfer protocol

I'm inclined to agree. Perhaps there's a place for a "fast" FTP protocol but I wouldn't want to be sharing the link with them ... imagine the cries going around the office ... "has the internet gone down again!?"

For TCP transfers, I expect to see near 100% utilisation (if I'm not sharing bandwidth) but that's on wired (reliable) links.

nailed it.

communication links are generally a shared resource (common good) and the experience will degrade for everyone if individual transfers/users aren't backing down voluntarily.
