rsync or zsync, yes.
take the file you have, put it somewhere, name it
ubuntu-10.04-beta1-desktop-amd64.iso  (or whatever it should be named)
then:
zsync http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-beta1-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync

zsync is client side rsync essentially.

if you're on windows, i thikn theres probably a zsync client, but dont
know.
