1. Use a Zipping program simliar to Winzip or Winrar to compress the contents of your file. Then use the same program to split the file into more managable chunks of data (30 100M files, 300 10M files, etc).
2. Use Quick Par to create a recovery set, in case you have any damaged files in the transfer. Quick par will easily repair the damage parts of your file, so you wont have to upload the file/s again.
Using rsync handles all of these cases. It will compress the data as it is being sent (although, depending on the format of your images, you might not get much compression). It will also automatically verify that data was sent correctly. If there is a failure, you just restart rsync, it'll automatically figure out where it left off, and continue from there.
If you want: If you then update some of your images, you can re-run rsync, and it'll detect which ones were updated, and re-upload only those updates.

The biggest factor will be the server most likely. Sure the client you use can make a difference but it doesn't matter if it is the best and your server has slow transfer and doesn't support multiple connections. You need to find out those details.
If your server will handle all the best then my program recommendation for your computer (the client side) is WSFTP Professional version by IpSwitch. It has the bonus of even allowing scripting and scheduling so you can even automate this.
Let me know how this helps or if you have a question. There are many other good client programs so the real key is the server.
