[Problem] The problem to be solved by the present invention is increasing speed of data transmission while resolving the problem of bottlenecks that occur when content data is distributed to client terminals in a server-client system. [Solution] The present invention is based on the knowledge that, when content data is split into multiple pieces of data and there is a request from a client terminal to download the content data, in addition to a transfer to the client terminal from a server that has the content data, the split-up data of the content data is transferred via a P2P communications network from other client terminals that have in a cache region the split-up data of the content data, and the content data is reconstructed within the client terminal, thereby enabling the realization of higher speed data transfer rates by means of multiple paths while resolving bottlenecks where traffic is concentrated on the server. |
