Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a distributed storage system comprising of storage nodes storing source data amongst them in a coded, and typically, redundant manner. The data to be stored in the storage nodes may be disseminated from the source across the network in a distributed manner. The system also includes end users who recover the source data by connecting to subsets of the storage nodes. A failed storage node may be repaired by downloading data from subsets of existing nodes. The storage space required in the nodes, and the network bandwidth utilized for repair are minimized.
