Newnode: Decentralized Content Distribution Network
A method and apparatus of a device that downloads content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a request from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network. In addition, the device determines a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content. For each of the plurality of nodes, the device attempts to establish communications between the device and that node. In addition, the device downloads a portion of the content from that node if communication is established between the local device and that node, wherein the size of the portion is based on at least a characteristic of that node. Furthermore, the device downloads a portion of the content from a proxy if communication cannot be established between the local device and that node, wherein the size of the portion is based on at least a characteristic of that proxy.

- 1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to download content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network, the method comprising:
receiving a request, at the local device, from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network; determining a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content; and for each node in the plurality of nodes,
attempting to establish communications between the local device and that node,
downloading a portion of the content from that node if communication is established between the local device and that node, wherein the size of the portion is based on at least a characteristic of that node, and
downloading a portion of the content from a proxy if communication cannot be established between the local device and that node, wherein the size of the portion is based on at least a characteristic of that proxy.
- 15. A method to download content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network, the method comprising:
receiving a request, at the local device, from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network; determining a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content; and for each node in the plurality of nodes,
attempting to establish communications between the local device and that node,
downloading a portion of the content from that node if communication is established between the local device and that node, wherein the size of the portion is based on at least a characteristic of that node, and
downloading a portion of the content from a proxy if communication cannot be established between the local device and that node, wherein the size of the portion is based on at least a characteristic of that proxy.
- 21. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to download content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network, the method comprising:
receiving an application request, at the local device, from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network; determining a size of the content; determining a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content; and for each node in the plurality of nodes,
determining a portion of the content for that node, and
downloading the portion of the content from that node.
- 27. A method to download content to a local device using a decentralized content distribution network, the method comprising:
receiving an application request, at the local device, from an application to download content using the decentralized content distribution network; determining a size of the content; determining a plurality of nodes in the decentralized content distribution network to download the content; and for each node in the plurality of nodes,
determining a portion of the content for that node, and
downloading the portion of the content from that node.
