Signiant and Aspera are both use UDP accelerated transfer. More efficient than traditional TCP that mainstream FTP and HTTP utilize.

See, THAT's the real question. All these suggestions of free services mean nothing if they're not fast enough to transfer VAST amounts of data quickly. Any solution that relies on FTP is going to be too slow. Signiant and Aspera and some others use a different method of checking the packets as they are sent that VASTLY speeds up delivery times. Avid had a product by Digidesign (ProServe LT) that allowed for super-fast deliveries of files over the internet. I think that's the same basic technology that Aspera uses.
For example, Avid had to send me a 3gig file recently and did it using one of those services and the thing was DONE on my HOME cable connection in about 15 minutes… maybe less. You can't get those speeds with FTP no matter HOW fast your connection is.

Any thoughts on how S3 transfer speed compares to Signiant, Aspera, etc?
Jim
Speaking only of the cheapest option, having virtually no learning curve, no setup time, and no software subscription obligation -- you might consider creating an Amazon S3 account.
There are a number of good S3 browsers, but you might consider buying two instances of CloudBerry S3 Explorer Pro ($39.99 USD each) for Japan and Australia, and syncing them to the same Amazon S3 account.
Then either party can upload files that the other party can access. You and your team could also then take advantage of Amazon Glacier for ultra cheap long-term, offline backup.
