The data delivery system receives user request from at least one requesting user device for viewing recorded data and also one or more parameters from at least one requesting user device and a plurality of recording user devices. Based on the received one or more parameters the data delivery system determines a set of recording user devices from the plurality of recording user devices and initiates delivery of recorded data from the set of the recording user devices to the at least one requesting user device. The data delivery system monitors progress of the delivery at predefined intervals of time and re-initiates the delivery of one or more segments of the recorded data based on the monitoring for facilitating delivery of recorded data over a network. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for facilitating delivery of recorded data over a network, the method comprising: receiving, by a data delivery system, user request from at least one requesting user device for viewing recorded data; receiving, by the data delivery system, one or more parameters from the at least one requesting user device and a plurality of recording user devices; determining, by the data delivery system, a set of recording user devices from the plurality of recording user devices based on the received one or more parameters; initiating, by the data delivery system, delivery of recorded data from the set of the recording user devices to the at least one requesting user device; monitoring, by the data delivery system, progress of the delivery of the recorded data at predefined intervals of time; and re-initiating, by the data delivery system, the delivery of one or more segments of the recorded data based on the monitoring for facilitating delivery of recorded data over a network. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more parameters comprises location data, user information of the at least one requesting user device, network data, Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage of the plurality of recording user devices, time and duration of the recorded data, and content information. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method as claimed in claim 2 further comprising providing additional data along with the recorded data based on the user information. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein monitoring the progress of the delivery comprises monitoring the content information, network data and location data of the at least one requesting user device and the set of the recording user devices. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein initiating the delivery of requested data comprises determining availability of the set of the recording user devices. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein determining the availability of the set of the recording user devices comprises sending a request to the set of the recording user devices for hosting the at least one requesting user device. ### Claim 7 A data delivery system for facilitating delivery of recorded data over a network comprising: a processor;
