A method for delivering streaming media files to a plurality of end users from a streaming media delivery system including a filer for storing the media files and a streaming server for serving the media files generally includes the steps of monitoring demand for the streaming media files, identifying at least one of the streaming media files to be cached when demand for the at least one of the streaming media files reaches a pre-defined threshold, copying the streaming media file to a streaming server from a media storage device, and streaming the streaming media file using the copy stored locally on the streaming server.
