Aspera uses UDP to work around issues sending large files over long distances on big pipes, which TCP usually isn't great for (1). How does MASV handle this over TCP? Do you have some 'tcp accelerators' in between or it is just heavily chunked content?

Yes to the TCP acceleration. Our parent company LiveQoS is a networking technology company. We use our own TCP acceleration software to enable faster downloads across the clouds. Upload acceleration is handled through chunking and by having many servers in major locations globally reducing latency.
