Anybody know a free way to send very large files over 1GB?

Thanks.

Figure out how to compress hexadecimal numbers with the probability theory.

(I tried, but failed. I could only get up to a 67% compress rate chance of 8xf to 7xf. :( )

Ok, bare with me, but let's go back to old dos times for an idea.

You remember the times when we had to zip games into several 1.44mb chunks in order to fit on several floppy disks while while being compressed? xD

You could use winrar or something to make a chuck rar file of let's say 10 mb files or so and send them one by one. :p

Olol.

Hey, it's an option at least.

Mail it. Go retro. Only a small price to pay.

You don't get a progress bar but it's quicker than dial-up.

It's a publicly available high latency, high bandwidth packet switched network with selectable Quality of Service that can not only encapsulate data, but "things" as well.

Transfer Big Files Free - Send Large Files up to 1GB would be a good option if you file were even a little smaller. Can't you improve the compression or divide into more than one piece? You'd really only need to cut it into two pieces, since each file can only be 1GB. There used to be programs to divide files up so they would fit on a floppy, and I think a similar program would work for this application.

If you have a physical address, it might be easier to just burn it to a DVD and send it that way.
