The invention discloses a distributed virtual reality content distribution method and system. The method comprises the steps that a user request point sends a target file downloading request; the userrequest point is connected with an index server through a peer-to-peer network transmission protocol, and requests for a content node which is randomly returned and is currently downloading the target file according to the target file downloading request; and the user request point downloads the target file from the content node. According to the invention, a VR experience store is used as a userrequest point and also serves as the content node, so user request point can send the file downloading request, and also can request for the downloading of the target file. The user request point serves as the content node of other request nodes while downloading the file. Through mutual transmission distributed by multiple nodes, the server and bandwidth cost is greatly reduced, the downloadingspeed is high, and the user
