I'm transferring 3.5M+ (~1TB) of images from my US server to EU through rsync. I initiate the transfer with the following command:

Code: 
rsync -rv --progress LOCAL_DIR root@REMOTE_SERVER:/REMOTE_DIR
It runs for a while and then, randomly and unexpectedly, stop and outputs:

Code: 
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to sotcket [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (3488850 bytes to receiver so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexpected error (code 255) at io.c(601) [sender=3.0.7]
The local server runs Debian 6 64-bit. The OS is under the ext4 file system and the storage partition is under the XFS file system (this is where the files that are being transfered are stored.) This runs on 2x1TB HDs in soft-RAID0.

The remote server runs Debian 6 64-bit as well. It's just a single 2TB disk with a single ext4 file system. So if the file systems are in question, I am moving files from XFS to ext4.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
