Abstract
The invention provides methods of encoding content for distribution over a network and methods for decoding encoded content which has been distributed over the network. In a first example in which the content is divided into a plurality of segments and each segment comprising a plurality of blocks of data, the method comprises selecting a segment from the plurality of segments and selecting at least two blocks of the selected segment from a store of blocks. A new encoded block is created from a linear combination of the selected blocks.
