Wonder if this protocol is applicable to other p2p protocols that use
segmented downloading... this part sounds particularly appealing:

"We are using UDP for uTP because it is the only way to provide our own
congestion control mechanism. It is designed to better react to changing
network conditions and throttle itself back, even with other TCP connections
active, such as the user doing video streaming or VoIP while torrenting."

It'd be nice for always-on devices utilizing P2P streaming protocols to
constantly be contributing back to the network, but doing so non-obtrusively
so that other services in the home are unaffected.
