FILE DOWNLOAD USING DEDUPLICATION TECHNIQUES

Abstract:

This disclosure is directed to embodiments of systems and methods for downloading a file in an efficient and secure manner. In some of the disclosed embodiments, a computing system receives a request, from a first device, for a file having multiple data portions, and identifies data on a second device that matches a first data portion of the requested file. The computing device determines at least one other data portion of the requested file to transfer to the first device based on the identified data on the second device, and sends the determined data portions of the requested file to the first device to enable the first device to generate the requested file using the data portions from the second device and the data portions from the computing device.
