Methods and systems for caching and delivering data files among peer nodes in a decentralized data delivery edge network using a tracker server are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method utilized by the tracker server includes first, receiving a peer list request from a viewer peer node in the network for accessing one or more target fragments of a data file. Next, extracting, from the received peer list request, a content type of the data file, and a viewer location of the viewer peer node. Then, generating a cacher peer list by selecting, from peer nodes currently active in the network, one or more cacher peer nodes to provide access to the one or more target fragments of the data file. Finally, transmitting the generated cacher peer list to the viewer peer node. The method may be utilized in a hybrid network comprising peer-to-peer (P2P) connections implemented on top of a content delivery network (CDN).
