Abstract
A method begins by receiving a storage request to store one or more portions of a data object and determining whether the one or more portions are stored within a dispersed storage network memory. When stored, the method continues by determining a retrieval demand for a portion of the one or more portions. When below a first threshold, the method continues by indicating that an existing copy of the one or more portions will be used for retrieval requests for the one or more portions. When above the first threshold, the method continues by copying the existing copy to create a first one or more portion copies and indicating the one or more portions will be used for retrieval requests from a first group of user computing devices and indicating the first one or more portion copies will be used for retrieval requests from a second group.
