OT - Sending large files - help!
I need to send some large files (*.avi & *.ppt) for work and its getting quite urgent....
the files are too big for email so I've tried yousendit.com but its just sitting there saying processing and doesn't even give progress
bar so I've no idea if its working or not 
I've already compressed them as much as I can (using winrar)
can anyone recomend a good, free service to send / host these
cheers

Try dropbox, i have it on all my PC's syncing with the main online server, you can also email links so people can download stuff without an
account.

Put them on to a usb stick or DVD as files and POST
Get an External HDD
Or + 1 for Drop Box
Or Set up your own FTP server
Or SSH tunnel to you box using PUTTY or similar and then SFTP them..
Or Set up your own webserver and publish them for down load
Loads or ways.
I prefer the old stick them on a DVD & Post / Carry to work

yep, well, i've never had any problems with it. sending files like 140mb. sometimes it does take a little while to get past processing
(depending on the size of the file), but then you'll get a progress bar on the next screen, stick with it, its the best one i've ever
used

Wow, I shouldn't take the wee but I get a faster connection than that..... in the desert at work...... using my mobile for a GPRS connection to
my laptop.
Maybe time to change ISP unless there are no other options where you are.
