When an e-Learning System is installed on a server, numerous learners make use of it and they download various learning objects or files from the server. Most of the time the request is for same files downloaded from the server which results in server perform the same repetitive task of locating the file and sending across to the requestor. This paper provides a novel algorithm which stores the details of the various clients who have downloaded the files and look up that table when a new request comes in and sends the fie from that client to the requestor thus saving the precious CPU time of the server by harnessing the computing power of the clients.
