I guess that given the nature of UDP we have no way of knowing whether data transferred is going through correctly. Is there something that can be done to improve on this situation?

One trick is to use compression (lzop). Although this doesn't prevent bit errors, it would make them very obvious: rather than having slightly different copies, it would abort with a CRC error. On the LLL project, we almost always use compression (it makes cast times much shorter), and in several years of operations, we only had a single case where a bit error occurred and made the compression abort.
