FSP is a piece of shit.

If someone wants to avoid having their server fork, you can build
servers that don't need to fork just as easily for TCP as for UDP.

If you want to run ftpd on a port other than the normal one, you can.

UDP is bad news for transmitting data in WANs; it doesn't do any of
the good congestion control or other things that TCP does.

So far as I can tell, FSP exists purely so that people transfering
