What is the fastest and most reliable way of transferring a lot of files

file-transferrsync

I'm trying to transfer about 100k files totaling 90gb. Right now I'm using rsync daemon but its slow 3.4mb/s and I need to do this a number of times. I'm wondering what options do I have that would max out a 100mbit connection over the internet and be very reliable.

Have you considered Sneakernet? With large data sets overnight shipping is often going to be faster and cheaper than transferring via the Internet.
