Easy way to share big files...
-
You are a bit stuck with the upload speed, as you can't realy compress the files - .AVI and so forth are pretty well compressed anyway - Matroska is better, but you frequently need a codec to view these. Why not take a tip from some of the naughtier sites out there: when they share big files, they split them up, and join them together when they are downloaded. I've tried this before with some Email accounts that don't like big attachments, and it works fine. Try FFSJ[^] which can also password protect the files if needed. When it splits, it creates files called "myMachine.avi.001", "myMachine.avi.002" and so on, and re-assembles to "myMachine.avi" when done.

You can split files with 7-zip too, which alot of people have already... or should have in my opinion! ;P

Hello all, I want to share videos of the machines we make with my customers and I've been able to see that they are having big troubles using FTP... it seems that they can't get to download the files even I give them the full path: ftp://username:password@ip_address. I would like to give them the possibility to download the files in an effortlessly way. The main issue here is that I can't use skydrive or similar software due to their limitations of space for each file. I need to share big video files from 200MB to 500MB more or less. In my ISP I can't get more than 500MB of space so this is neither an option. What would you do? Notice that a free option is what we are searching for. Another issue here is that in my company we have 2MB DSL so imagine the speed it takes when we upload something... X| Any hint will be appreciated, of course I won't be able to tell you anything else than that I will pay you a beer if you come to Artés, but even this will unlikely happen, I'll be glad to see how our wonderful community show his magic knowledge again... :rolleyes:
I'd use pipebytes (http://www.pipebytes.com[^]). Here are the features from website: * No software to install. All you need is web browser. * No hassle registrations, and we don't even asking your e-mail address! * Send files of any size! * Your buddy could start downloading file as you upload it. * It's private unlike BitTorrent or other P2P techologies. * The file is not shared on Internet - it is sent directly to your recipient. * Free Widget for your web pages. * SSL secured

Rename the files to IngloriousBasterds[Perfect 1080i, honest].mpg and stick them on a torrent. You'll have a million spotty kids helping you by using their parents' bandwidth within minutes.
I'm so willing to bet that that would work (and spectacularly well), that I'm tempted to set it up. Problem 1: I have no idea how to make a torrent file. Does anyone know the address of LMGTFY?

I went with the Pro 50 subscription after being so impressed with the trial. At one time I may have poured scorn on the whole idea of cloud computing, but Dropbox has convinced me that there are some highly useful applications for it.
I still pour scorn on cloud computing. I liked Drop Box but I have no use for it, taking anything offsite is a sackable offence.

Isn't that like dropping your tweeds and bending over. I use a torrent client (Azureus) but I had heard limewire is a disaster for malware?

USB Pen Drive of a couple of gb, then attach it to a carrier pidgeon. Thats the best, most reliable way I have found so far. ;)

For users who can't grasp FTP I normally recommend Filezilla as it is easy to walk users through setting up a FTP connection and it can remember connections for future use. The other way we transfer is to setup custom client portal sites, if you were to outlay something like £30 per year + £40 one off cost you could setthis up quite easily with a DNN ISP like websecurestores.com.

Not sure if this is an option, but have you tried encoding your files into another format, e.g. flv? You'll often find that lowering the sound or picture quality will make the files MUCH smaller. In your case, perhaps sacrificing some quality for size might the way to go. I recently recorded some VHS tapes to *.avi using a tuner card and 15 minutes worth was about 800MB. After converting them to flv and adjusting the quality they were about 45MB.
