Embodiments of the present application provide a method, method and apparatus for downloading a container image file. The method is applied to a first container node, the first container node comprising a container engine module and a proxy module. The method comprises the following steps: the container engine module sends a first acquisition request; the proxy module intercepts the first acquisition request and obtains the container image file from the target container node storing the container image file through the point-to-point p2p mode; the agent module sends a container image file to the container engine module.In an embodiment of that present application, By obtaining the container image file through p2p by the agent module, since the container image file is obtained by the p2p mode without being limited by the bandwidth, load, and the like of the container cloud platform, and since the request mode of the container engine module requesting the container image file is not changed, the efficiency of o
