Ah, yeah, that's a lot of data. I think I have an idea what's likely
happening.
The disc on the target probably can't write data as fast as data can
come over the network. rsync is probably more intellegent about
buffering compared to scp which is basically cp over SSH. If you watch
the kernel's buffer size, it will probably max out just before the
transfer dies.
