Abstract: A computer implemented method embodied in a computer program stored in non-transient memory and executed by a computer processor for providing peer to peer content delivery of a live video stream includes delaying delivery of a live stream to a second client to serve that client from a first client that has previously received the live stream. The computer implemented method may further include switching between bad content sources (first clients) to good content sources based on heuristics.
