This is going to be a very difficult project is you're not "a pro at programming".

Sockets are not easy to deal with in a situation where you have to guarantee accuracy in the data being sent, like files.

Multiple clients receiving a file at the same time is rather complex and complicated by the situation where one or more clients might not receive a packet of the file and wants a re-send of the bad packet, or you may want to resend the entire file.

A better solution would be to send a notification to the clients to tell them all to pick up the file from whatever server may be hosting the file. Each client can then deal with the server and retransmissions themselves.
