Sending Large Files

Just a quick post tonight,

If you want to send large files to friends you can have a bit of a problem, unless you run your own file/web server. Email usually tops out at <10M (you shouldn't send anything that large by email anyway). One convinient option is a service that was recently pointed out to me called YouSendIt. Basically, you upload the file to YouSendIt (up to 1G) and they email the recipient a link to download it. If you prefer, rootshell.be will host up to a 700M file for a set amount of time, which you can upload to, and send a link manually. Either service should work well for most uses. If you want to send something larger than 1G, setup an FTP server or consider using bittorrent ( Azureus, among others, has an integrated tracker making it easy to publish torrents)
