Claim 7:
8. A system for distributing content to a plurality of nodes on a computer network, the system comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
divide the content into a plurality of information groups, each of the information groups including a mutually exclusive subset of information pieces of the content;
encode the information pieces included in each of the plurality of information groups based on a combination of the information pieces included in the respective information group and a plurality of coefficients associated with the information pieces included in the respective information group; and
distribute the encoded information pieces to the plurality of nodes on the computer network,
wherein each of the information pieces is encoded into one of three types of information pieces, all the coefficients associated with a first type of the three types of information pieces are one, a subset of the coefficients associated with a second type of the three types of information pieces is from a Galois Field and the remaining coefficients associated with the second type of the three types of information pieces are one, and all the coefficients associated with a third type of the three types of information pieces are from the Galois Field.
