Abstract
A computer-implemented method providing for configuration file downloads is disclosed. A first resource path is built. The first resource path may comprise a root component, a group component, and a time component based on a rounded time. Any computer systems within a group of the computer systems that have previously downloaded or are currently downloading a configuration file for the rounded time are identified. If any such computer system is identified, a copy of the configuration file is obtained from one of the identified computer systems. Otherwise, the configuration file is requested for the rounded time from a source. The source may generate the configuration file based on policies for the group of computer systems identified by the group component. The configuration file may then be downloaded.
