Thread: Transferring large files (DVD size)

  1. #1
    Hello all. I've been downloading a large drum sample set, which consists of 5 files all about 3GB in size, using Shareaza.
    I've just about finished getting them but I've also had a couple of people regularly connecting to me to get them and, being a kind soul, wanted to help them avoid all the hassle and waiting like I had.
    Is there any way of transferring them without all the queueing etc?
    I suppose I could use ftp but I'm a bit worried about the idea of giving someone access to my pc since I don't have a remote server I can use.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this in a secure/easy way, or know of any programs I can use?

    Thanks everyone.

    newsgroups is the best way.

    you upload with max speed. and everyone can download it with their max. download speed

    Thanks for that. So do I need to register with a news server and get any particular software? I've only ever bothered with Google groups - anything else has always seemed a bit of a hassle.
    Thanks again.

    newsgroups and torrents usually have good constant speeds, but it is sometimes harder to find rare stuff.

    But say, for example, that I'm only interested in sharing it with this one person (don't worry, I'm not that mean). I'm having to fanny about uploading it to a group and then he's fannying around downloading it.
    Is there a way I can send files this large directly to him?
