            Abstract : 
This paper presents a dataset of user statistics collected from a P2P multimedia service infrastructure that delivers both live and on-demand content in high quality to users via different platforms: PC/Mac, and set top boxes. The dataset covers a period of seven months starting from October 2011, exposing a total of over 94k system statistic reports from thousands of user devices at a fine granularity. Such rich data source is made available to fellow researchers to aid in developing better understanding of video delivery mechanisms, user behaviour, and programme popularity evolution.
