How do I - Making a file available to others to download
Mr Whippy - 7/5/08 at 07:21 PM

ok guys how do I put a 4mb zip file on somewhere so someone else can get it. Don't think my e-mail will send that, though I'm going to send it to myself to check.

any ideas for computer disaster like me to manage???

Got a hotmail account? That will let you send it no problem.


Mr Whippy - 7/5/08 at 07:28 PM

err probably not cos I don't even know what that is

hmm e-mail says I can send up to 20mb but it crashed when I tried to attach it.

nope didn't work with google mail either grr

its pretty good, although you have to sign up for it now free sign up though

but a hotmail email account will do it. as will any email system actually...

hotmail is restriced to 10mb (and thats a restriction!) any email should do it ok

ahh I see the problem...slightly missread the file size oops wow thats a zipped file!

382 MB


blakep82 - 7/5/08 at 07:44 PM

yeah I just looked at that site and their limit is 2gb but I can't break that file down, oh bummer stuck. gb's kb's all so confusing

hmm so that was a right disaster, computers hate em!

thanks for trying anyhow

er, how wrong did you read the file size?!

382 MB is wayyyyy less that 2 GB.

1024MB is 1GB (i think)

so you could fit your file in like 5 or 6 times over in their limit.

or has one of us got it wrong again?


Mr Whippy - 7/5/08 at 07:59 PM

Well I did say I was a computer disaster...

Thinking about it…it must be due to beer deprivation, I'll go and rectify that right now before I make another more serious mistake, can't be too careful


blakep82 - 7/5/08 at 08:04 PM

be careful! don't accidentally perforate you ear drum with the ring pull!

er, but yeah, you're file will definitely go with yousendit

get that drink in you before trying though

LOL @ linking a load of shitty hosting sites.

www.rapidshare.com

100MB limit, but split archives are allowed, so just use WinRar.
