I recently read a tip on lifehacker about checking and fixing downloaded 
ISO media with bittorrent.  bittorrent is designed for small incremental 
part downloads and organizing that data which could make it a nice fit 
for remote filesystem syncing with any filesystem that can do readable 
snapshots.

consider make an LVM snapshot and then a torrent file for it.  setup 
your backuppc server as a bittorrent tacker.  send the torrent to the 
remote machine and run it with rtorrent or some cli torrent client.

i'm going to time torrent creation on my filesystem, i will return results

thanks
