I read several articles about uTP in the past few days. The only problem that uTP can solve I understand so far is just evade from P2P throttling by ISPs. OK, it is a great improvement for some people. I don't see any motivation to implement such low level TCP like protocol stack to user application. It seems LibTorrent-rasterbar dev guys have started to implement uTP. Let's wait for BitTorrent.inc guys to publish the detailed study about how efficient and effective uTP is compared to TCP.
