I've just been introduced to this site and thought that others may be interested.
It will certainly be useful for sending photo's and music files to friends and if the file is under 100 megabite it can be used for free.

Mail big file

this may be the answer to my problem Hazel The file I wanted to send was 35mb but the picture quality was seriously compromised I presume by compressing.

Thanks

When I was using unix regularly a few years back I wrote a script to split a large file into smaller pieces and another to put the pices back together. Perhaps I should see if I could find it.

There are a number of freeware file splitting progs for windows. I used one a while back to transfer a file which was too large to burn to CD, and I split it and reunited the pieces successfully on another computer.
Quack.

was just about to say something similar Geoff..

HJSplit is what I use. It has a pretty clear interface, and works fine.

Of course, the recipient has to have it to RE-join the parts.

what are the odds---I just was trying to figure out how that can be done and here was the answer. Great---now to await the results from the rcvng party of a 30 meg sound file.

Is this a coincidence or what? As I type, I've been waiting for about 5 minutes for Outlook Express to download the 1st of 3 e-mails. When I finally get the file, I'll let the sender have a copy of the link, Make that 10 minutes now!

OOOPS!   It turns out I rcvd a followup from the recipient of my approx. 40 meg sound file sent via the link supplied at the start of this thread. It took a while to be rcvd. (it took over 10 minutes to send) but arrived intact and was able to be transferred for air-play at my radio station.

Thanks for the great advice---saving a lot of gas money now in sending it down instead of delivering it.
