+UFTP is a multicast file transfer program, utilizing a protocol
+based on Starburst MFTP. It is designed to reliably and efficiently
+transfer files to multiple receivers simultaneously, where either
+the intended receivers can be specified beforehand, or receivers
+can join the transfer when it is initiated. This is useful for
+distributing large files to a large number of receivers, and is
+especially useful for data distribution over a satellite link (with
+two way communication), where the inherent delay makes any TCP based
+communication terribly inefficient.
