You would think that, yes. But maybe there was an underlying NFS error?

For a one-time copy I tend to use tar with its output piped into netcat, and
the reverse on the receiving side. No complicated setup and it's pretty fas=

I've seen it saturate a 100 Mbit link.

For distributing regular updates, you cannot beat rsync, IMO. And it still
requires less setup effort than nfs and amd.
