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.
