A method or system for efficiently routing a file located on two or more sources to one or more file recipients connected by a plurality of paths in one or more networks. For each file recipient, one or more predetermined utility functions are evaluated to select the most efficient one of the plurality of paths to use for routing the file to the one or more file recipients, and the file is routed to the one or more file recipient using the selected path. The predetermined utility function may be the estimated operating expense associated with the routing of the file to the one or more file recipients, or the estimated return on investment for improving the routing of said file to the one or more recipients, or is related to an estimated file transfer time to the one or more file recipients.
