The invention proposes a method for transmitting a data file containing a content of known duration encoded at an encoding rate that is higher than the channel transmission rate. The proposed method comprises the steps of: downloading the data by using a transport protocol with rate control (like TCP) during a first period of time, and streaming the data by using a transport protocol without rate control (like UDP) during a second period of time. The second period of time (streaming) is proportional to the known duration of the content. Advantageously, the proportionality factor is equal to one. Application transmission of audio/video via Internet.
