I just ran a test from one local box the another on a 100Mbit link and the fastest transfer OI got was 10MBytes/second but most were between 1MBytes/second and 4MBytes/second.

I could be wrong (it happens), but the best performance you are likely to get from a 100 Mbit/s link would be right around 10 MByte/s.

rsynch's purpose is to speed up file transfer by NOT re-transferring files that already exist on both sides. From how you describe your problem, it doesn't look like there are identical files on both computers, then rsync will not speedup anything.

In that case, you will get a higher throughput with scp.

man scp
