I experience this very annoying bug since several months (after updating from the nice Dapper LTS to Hardy one): I initially suspected a bad network connection at one end but it seems this is not the problem.
I also observe that SCP tranfer rates and ETA are false and not updated during the copies... and on very large files (50/100Mbytes), most of the time it finish as "stalled" probably because this timing/counter issue triggers a stop to the scp command. It seems to be a client side problem, not server side... SFTP does not seems concerned (and can be used to finish a long scp stalled file transfer without needing to restart from the beginning). As well, windows XP client scponly does not seems affected and can manage several 100 Mbytes transfers from a hardy openssh server without issues. I found an upstream solved issue that could be related: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799 The correction should be done in Hardy shipped version because of it's LTS status imo.
