Easy way to share big files...
-
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.
Good point, the only drawback here is that they will need a codec to see the video... I'm using mpeg 1 or 2 and with windows XP they can be seen without anything extra...

eeerrmm... what have you taken? Now seriously, I agree you completely... (well, not in that last phrase, but the other part is OK). Thank you... Anyway, the difficult part here is that the customer is the one that can loose the interest on my products if it is too difficult for him to get them... so this is why I'm asking for easier solutions...
If you are afraid of loosing potential customers, how can you afford to NOT increase bandwith/speed on your internet connection or pay the $5 per mo more to your ISP for more storage space. geeeesh!

I had not thought on using my ISP in order to do that... :thumbsup: But I'm afraid that where I live I can't get a better Internet connection... :thumbsdown:

Use 1) Yahoo Messenger 2) Skype Fast and efficient.
I don't know about yahoo messenger, but Skype is terribly slow in my laptop. I use it everyday to speak with my couple and when we send to each other some pictures or other files, then it is painfully slow... Probably due to my slow Internet connection, but... Moreover those solutions imply that I would be in front of the computer and I'm thinking in something that could be non attended as I'm sending files overseas and the timezone is really different.. 46 hours or something like that... ;P

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
OK, thank you, I'll look at it.

I'd use bittorrent; it's free, it prevents most accidental corruption during downloading, you don't need to rely on any server (not even a tracker, you could be a tracker yourself and there is DHT), it scales well, but a downside is that initially (when you're the only seed) it won't be fast - it will get better over time but it takes a while. 700MB isn't even considered big for a torrent. Just an idea of course - it's how I spread most of my "big stuff", it has worked for me so far
I need privacy and control on who is getting the files... :(( But thank you anyway...

As some one has recommended already, pigeons are a great source for sending information. attach a light flash drive and send it. (of course, i'm not joking)

Yes, but as it is overseas I'll need to attach also a floater to the poor animal... just in case it gets tired... Oh! and a 45 caliber gun... If it lands on the sea a shark can think that it is a seal and try to attack it... :laugh:
