A method includes sending to a centralized management service computer via a computer network a content-acquisition request. The content-acquisition request queries the centralized management service computer for a recommended content source to provide a first digital content item. The method further includes if a response to the content-acquisition request is received via the computer network and identifies a recommended peer computer of a peer-to-peer network as the recommended content source, sending to the recommended peer computer via the computer network a request to download the first digital content item, and if a response to the content-acquisition request is not received, automatically sending to a content-delivery network computer via the computer network a fallback request to download the first digital content item.
