Abstract

A method for distributing files among a set of servers in a content-delivery system, includes selecting a file stored on a first server from the set of servers and associating a first replication value with that selected file. Then, at least in part on the basis of the first replication value, a determination is made as to whether the selected file is to be replicated at a second server selected from the set of servers.
