You will definitely want a solution which is able to resume from
a broken connection. A tool which also checksums your data, to
ensure the correctness of the data is desirable, too:
If both machines were running Linux/Unix I'd recommend "rsync" over
ssh. You might get rsync to work on Windows, too, with Cygwin [1].
Have you thought about Bittorrent? There are clients like Azureus [2],
which can protect the tracker url with a username/password combination
to make sure that noone else downloads your data. Azureus is written
in Java and will run well on Linux, Windows and other systems.
