Automatic distributed downloading (ADD) may involve, for example, enabling the downloading of a resource via a peer-to-peer (P2P)-based protocol from a uniform resource identifier (URI). In an example embodiment, an ADD module includes a directory client that sends to a directory service a mapping request including a URI corresponding to a targeted resource and receives a mapping response including P2P session connection information. The targeted resource can be retrieved over a P2P network via a P2P-based protocol using the P2P session connection information. In another example embodiment, a mapping data structure is accessed with reference to a URI. An entry corresponding to the referenced URI is ascertained and P2P session connection information from the entry is extracted. The URI corresponds to a source making the resource available via a client-server-based protocol, and the P2P session connection information makes the resource available via a P2P-based protocol.
