Abstract
A computer system for optimizing bandwidth usage within a cloud storage system identifies distinct requests to access a particular digital file. When the number of requests exceeds a threshold, the computer system queries a remote directory server for the particular digital file. The query system then receives, from the remote directory server, addresses to data blocks stored within multiple remote storage nodes. The system requests at least a portion of the addressed data blocks. Upon receiving the blocks, the system decodes the particular digital file from the portion of the addressed data blocks. The computer system then stores the decoded digital file within local memory and communicates the local-area network address to the remote directory server.
