Why not cut to the chase and run scp to the remote server. TCP will do a wonderful job of filling your pipe, but not too much.
I see long delays with scp between two different systems talking to ext3 filesystems on both ends. The scp command will say 100%, but not actually exit, and the network monitor applet will show lots of network traffic for quite a while. When the network traffic dies down, the scp command finally exits.
I always figured it must be caching lots of packets in the 8 gig of memory I have.
