Good evening Salva, I am seeing the same problem. Every 50GB or so the SFTP connection will drop, retrys are not successful. scp an sftp work correctly, even in parallel to this activity so it looks like it is a Net::Foreign issue. Environment: 
matt@aslan:185% cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two)
matt@aslan:186% perl -v
This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 3 (v5.20.3) built for x86_64-li
+nux-thread-multi
(with 16 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
...
matt@aslan:187% perl_module_version Net::SFTP::Foreign
Net::SFTP::Foreign  : 1.75

I see no relevant detail in the ssh logs during the failure:

The error and resuming lines above was generated by this perl, the rest was from -vvv: 
        emit("          Error: " . $connect->status . ' (' .
            $connect->error . ')',

emit() is just a wrapper around print STDERR; return undef; The code whole paragraph is: 
    for (my $pass=0; $pass < $_max_retries; $pass++) {
        if ($connect->put($local, $remote, %$options)) {
            my $stat = $connect->stat($remote);
            $size = $stat->size;
            main::add2Log("        Finished $size of $lsize bytes", 'i
+nfo')
                if ($main::debug >= 1 and $pass);
            $main::progressBar = 100; 
            return 1;
        }    
        main::append2Log("\b"x$_fll, ' 'x$_fll, "\b"x$_fll)
            unless (main::is_graphical());
        emit("          Error: " . $connect->status . ' (' .
            $connect->error . ')', 
            "            Resuming transfer (retry " . ($pass+1) . ')')

        my $connect = sshConnect($url, $user, $password, 'sftp', undef
+, 1,
            1);  
        return undef unless ($connect);
