Anyone know a good UDP File server that's web based or something that has a web portion for the clients?

why would you want UDP based? that guarantees nothing in transit which i would think would lead to corrupt files being uploaded/downloaded.

Simple answer throughput! Its way faster there is one i've found so far expedat but its cost a $$ ton. Torrents use udp and that's why they download so fast.

your connection is the same no matter if its TCP or UDP.  I can honestly say i've never heard of any UDP based file servers.

Thoughput is not dependent on the transport protocol type being used. It's bandwidth based and provisioning based. The only inherent difference between TCP and UDP is the non-existant ACK on the packets being sent by UDP, thus making it seem faster as there are fewer packets being sent/acknowledged.  TCP is more reliable as each particular packet is to guarantee your delivery of the packet in question. UDP does none of this and corruption would most likely happen for large files as each packet is being sent without checking to see if the previous was delivered properly. Torrent applications utilize CRC checks to ensure the file is correct after it's all been assembled on the back end but overall if you are just wanting a server to provide UDP related services there is no inherent advantage of using UDP because of the corruption possibility.
 
You can do whatever you want, service wise, but I don't see any reason for using a server which is strictly or UDP only. Most VPS servers can provide TCP and UDP services without having to pay for only UDP being utilized on them. Like moose517 stated, I've never really seen a service for UDP based servers specifically. Especially in the virtual server provisioning market.

Hmmm.. So why is it that When I share a file via torrent I see uploads speeds hit 100mbps and when I share files via FTP  sometime it drops down to 10mbps or slower

Absolutely different implementations of protocols. FTP itself is older and has checksums that torrent systems and implementations do not utilize. FTP is also TCP based which has the assurance of delivery for each packet. You are comparing different types of protocols in order to see if one is inherently better/faster than another which is not really a good thing to do. They serve different, but similar, functions. FTP, being the older protocol, will inherently be slower but generally would allow for uncorrupted file transfer. Similarly TFTP would do a very similar function as FTP would since they do identical file transfers. With that in mind TFTP and FTP are different in how they function, rather than what they do. Just like torrenting files does a very similar thing to FTP but in the manner of how they do it they are vastly different. Since torrenting files is something which is relatively new it would be better optimized for transfer of files by sourcing them from different clients seeding the information necessary to rebuild the data from many sources rather than FTP which is generally from a single served source for the data transfer.
