You already know the UUID before the upload starts in the Xfer system. 
The client generates a random UUID that when MD5ed together with the 
current SecureSessionID (a shared secret between client and server) 
gives you the future AssetID. The random UUID is sent in the upload 
initiation packet, so before the data is even sent across the wire the 
client knows what the AssetID will be, and the server knows after the 
first packet is sent.

Fun fact: If you somehow get ahold of an enormous amount of computing 
power, or figure out a way to build rainbow tables extremely fast you 
could orchestrate AssetID collisions which would be guaranteed 
entertainment. The possibility of either or those things happening is 
probably pretty low though.
