Look at the rsync package. It is what is used for the Debian mirror
sites. From the man page:
DESCRIPTION
rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that
rcp does, but has many more options and uses the rsync
remote-update protocol to greatly speedup file transfers
when the destination file already exists.
The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer
just the differences between two sets of files across the
network link, using an efficient checksum-search algorithm
described in the technical report that accompanies this
package.
