The invention implementation example proposes a system and a method for selecting the transferring node in the peer-to-peer network. The method includes that a first candidate transferring node set of a first node and a second node is determined from a super node set according to the internet service provider (ISP) properties of the first and the second nodes; a second candidate transferring nodeset is determined from the first candidate transferring node according to the history operation log of each node in the first candidate transferring node set; the transferring node of the first and the second nodes is selected from the second candidate transferring node set. Based on the system and the method for selecting the transferring node in the peer-to-peer network, a super node used as the transferring node can be selected conveniently from the super node set.
