Mikester,
Thanks for the response. 460Mb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................ouch!
In all honesty mate, you have to go for a CD/DVD burner, hey, even Micro$oft wouldn't expect you to download something that big
OK you could use LS120 or a Zip drive provided you both have them, or one of those fancy new USB storage devices.
It did occur to me that you need to keep your eye on bandwidth here? I don't know what your friend's cable deal is but I know that some Universities are pretty mean about that, and charge ("fine" is a better word ) people who exceed their allocation?
I would hate to suggest some "really cool" solution and have you get a bill for $100, when you could have gone down the store and picked up a CD burner for 30 bucks?
I am afraid I don't have a link but there is some freeware called "HJSplit", the latest version supports massive file sizes and it will split files in a few seconds. It only takes a few seconds to re-assemble at the other end. The footprint is only about 200k as far as I recall!!!
If you have any problems finding it, give me a shout (PM or post) and I will zip a copy up for you.
If you split the file you could put the component parts on your Uni website, bit by bit.
I was interested because I have had a lot of "experience" in delivering software & updates to remote sites................but I think that 56Mb was about my best!
Good luck, and let me know if you need that software.
