A more lightweight solution that also uses multiple parallel FTP streams and doesn't require the whole GridFTP setup is bbftp http://doc.in2p3.fr/bbftp/. Incidentally, it also uses either SSL for encryption or ssh as a transport; might be interesting to see how multithreaded-ssh + bbftp performs.
Tangentially, at my lab we recently evaluated an anti-P2P "solution" that initially experienced some interesting crashing problems exposed by bbftp. If we get permission, there may be an interesting paper coming out of that evaluation.
