This is basically what scp does, only without spawning multiple

sometime.

I have, many times. Given an adequate pipe, scp is often at least 3x 
slower moving a very large (4GB+) file. Now when I was moving a lot 
of files this size, it was over a gigabit pipe so with a slower pipe 
you might not notice much of a difference.

I would put the drives together in the same machine to move /that/ much 
data! Another thing, I read that wget can be used to download files 
with the ability to continue broken connections; a definate plus when 
copying anything larger than a few hundred meg.
