In this work, we make utilisation of users' computers involved in this distributed storage system easily, and users share their powerful resources with this Peer-to-Peer (P2P) environment. Users can download the resources from this P2P distributed storage system. To transfer more efficiently, this paper also proposes a parallel transfer algorithm for every node and replication mechanism. The experiment results have shown that it is an effective parallel transfer method, which not only uses network bandwidth more, but also reduces the download transfer time.
