Methods and apparatus for data transfer according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with acquiring file segments associated with a sequence, and may include requesting a preceding file segment in the sequence from a faster and/or more reliable source, such as a file server, and requesting a subsequent file segment in the sequence from slower or less reliable source, such as a p2p network. The received data may be stored in a ready buffer, a file server buffer, and/or a network buffer according to whether a full set of sequential data has been received and/or the source from which the data is to be requested. File segments may be transferred to the ready buffer when all of the file segments in a sequence and all of the preceding file segments.
