PURPOSE: A terminal for receiving a content streaming service through a P2P network and a control method thereof are provided to calculate popularity by an offset section unit and to calculate popularity which accurately reflects a reproduction pattern of video content, thereby a use probability of a prefetching offset. CONSTITUTION: A registration unit registers a part of data chuck, which is stored in a terminal, in an AAP(Adaptive Anchor Point) overlay network as an offset unit(S610). A selection unit selects one or more offsets(S620). A receiving unit performs prefetching about one or more offsets from a pier which registers one or more offsets based on connection relation of AAP piers(S630). [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (BB) End; (S610) Register an offset unit in an AAP overlay network; (S620) Select one or more offsets among the offsets registered in the AAP overlay network to perform prefetching; (S630) Prefetch one or more selected offsets from a pier which registers one or more selected offsets |
