This information processing device has a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit is capable of communicating with multiple client devices on the same network that are capable of buffering and reproducing data transmitted from a server by means of a progressive download method. The control unit is capable of periodically obtaining buffering time information that indicates buffering time, which represents the amounts of data being buffered by the multiple client devices in the form of amounts of time that are required for reproducing the data. Also, the control unit is capable of determining a client device that has the shortest buffering time among the multiple client devices as a priority device to which the data should be preferentially transmitted. |
