摘要:
A system for automated and optimized file transfers among devices in a network comprises a client configured to request a file transfer, a server configured to transfer the requested file to the client, and a scheduling module configured to schedule delivery of the file to the client. The scheduling module preferably schedules the delivery of the file to be completed by a deadline. In an alternate embodiment, the file is transferred to a device in the network that did not send the request. The file transfer may be requested by a user at the client or may be requested by a pre-fetch module of the client.
