FWIW: I haven't seen FTP as terribly slow, but then again everything I
do is pretty local over high-speed networks (ie. 10G WAN). I do know you can
get into the weeds with FTP for long haul with bad TCP windows kicking in, but
that isn't my environment.
There's plenty of projects that come and go. Nothing really has gained traction.
Such as
https://www.evl.uic.edu/cavern/RBUDP/Reliable%20Blast%20UDP.html
http://tsunami-udp.sourceforge.net/
http://udt.sourceforge.net/
http://uftp-multicast.sourceforge.net/
There are some commercial projects as well. The discussion comes up on hackernews
every now and then.
