Use a protocol other than http.

Create your own protocol handler on the server and send the data from
the client.

Any protocol (http, ftp, etc.) will wait for a response from the server.
Even basic TCP/IP will need to wait for some acknowledgment at the
TCP/IP level (only 7 packets can be outstanding at one time), but you
won't have to wait for the protocol to acknowledge the receipt.

But I doubt you'll gain a whole lot, unless the server is very busy;
normally the acknowledgments don't take much. Probably the fastest way
is to tar/gzip all the files into one big one, ftp it to the server then
untar/gzip them at the server.
