Abstract: The file distribution system comprises the file distribution server 1 transmitting the reception parameter, comprising multiple retransmission request transmission addresses corresponding to multiple retransmission server apparatuses, the retransmission request delay-time P and retransmission request distributed-time D, with respect to each file distribution, and the reception client apparatuses 2-1, 2-1, 2-N detecting reception failure, waiting for time(P+D×R) until the retransmission request is transmitted, transmitting all of the retransmission requests generated during the waiting time, trying sequential access to the retransmission request transmission addresses until connection is successful.
