I don't know if u can give you hints, since I don't know who u is. But I can give you a hint.
Code:
rsync -a --progress user@server-ip:/path/to/your/documents/* /path/to/your/local-documents
This will copy all files and directories (-a option means copy recursively and preserve file permissions) from the directory /path/to/your/documents/ on the server server-ip to the local path /path/to/your/local-documents. rsync will login as user to your server to do that and show progress bars (--progress option).
For more info on rsync
is a very good source.

If I understand it right rsync would only copies changes to files made and this will reduce a lot the network throughput needed.

Correct.

The only thing that concerns me now if how rsync will behave when at the beginning the local files that I would have on my hard disk (those that were copied at step one) would be 99% same with those in the remote server. Would that be a problem?

Sorry, I don't understand that question, please describe that in a different way.
