How do you send a huge file to a friend? E-mail not big enough!

ADE · 02-13-2007, 09:31 PM

OK, I want to send my friend a file. I know your going to ask what it is so here what it is. I used FRAPS to make a video of my team in multilayer in game. I took all of those, edited it all into one, added a song to it and there you go. That's what I want him to see. Thing is, it 750MB....how do i send this to him?

I would say make a torrent file and send it that way.

alexandergre · 02-13-2007, 09:43 PM

there are several ways:
make a torrent of the file and share it with you friend.
win rar the file into 8 separate file(100 Mb each) and go to rapidshare.de or megaupload.com and upload the files there.
this is the best wat.
i perfer the second way so you dont need to be online when he is downloading.

As you probably know, there are sites out there for large files but yours probably exceeds their limit.

Easiest way I know is for you to create a one page web site and use FTP to upload to your site. Not very secure and private though, but you could take the site down after a while.

FTP is not free, you have to pay for it and why paying when there is the free way?!!

Torrent is rather confusing. And isn't it illegal?

alexandergre · 02-13-2007, 09:52 PM

no its not illegal, but the problem is that you have to have a tracker. does anyone know any legal tracker? a good one?

alexandergre · 02-13-2007, 10:00 PM

some other ways.
use an IM program like SKYPE. Skype is very fast to send huge files like that,
ok ive found a free legal tracker: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/faq.php#17
