Abstract
A download manager system ensures that data required by multiple device on a network is downloaded as few times as possible. The download manager system identifies one or more devices connected to a network, and obtains device information for each of the devices. The download manger system detects that a first device is downloading data. The download manager system determines that a second device may require the downloaded data. The download manger system may cause the data to be stored based on a determination that the second device may require the downloaded data. The download manager system may cause the downloaded data to be transmitted to the second device.
