    Best software or way of sending files over net 9GB<size

    trying to send something to mate via utorrent

    (backup of some important files btw. OMG SOMEONE USING BITTORRENT FOR SOMEtHING OTHER THAN PIRATiNG!!?!?!?!)

    first of all, the torrent wouldn't start so i had to manually add his IP. started uploading but SO slow, my upload can handle 60KB/s usually, 600kb/s upstream connection, just only trickling along at about 5KB/s

    any thoughts or alternatives

    RAR the file into split archives, and upload them to webspace?

    Have you got a DVD burner? You could stick it on a disc and hand it to them or post it.

    Bittorrent is pretty much tailor made for this kind of thing.

    stop downloading your warez while your uploading it

    but seriously, even at 60k you could break out a stamp and beat the connection no trouble, so why not

    Re: Best software or way of sending files over net 9GB<size

    how about usenet?
    not too sure of a good binaries uploader, but for text groups I used to use forte.
    If you both use the same service you should be able to get away with using a free usenet provider.
    bittorrent was designed to spread the workload, if only your friend is getting it it won't reach it's full potential.

    Re: Best software or way of sending files over net 9GB<size

    If your upload can manage 600Kb/s and you need to send 9GB then it will take about 1 and half days. (according to the Google) That is assuming that you can max out your up-stream. If you want to send this file to lots of people then torrent is the way to go. If you only want to send it to one person the torrent isn't going to make it any quicker than sending it through MSN messenger. Which is how I send large(ish) files over the internet.
    If you do max out your upstream then you are going to have VERY poor speeds for anything else you do becuase your requests and acknowlegments will get lost in the constant stream of data.
    I would suggest some form of removable media and the post. This choice does depend on how quickly you want it there and how much you are prepared to pay. I would guess that first class post could get the data there quicker than the internet.

    You could send the file to some helpful friends locally on removable media, then use all of them as seeds for the torrent. Although I have no idea how you would set this up, it should let you send at the sum of all your contributors upstream.

    DVD - post office guaranteed delivery - gets there next day. Job done. Cost about &#163;4.50 + the DVD.

    Re: Best software or way of sending files over net 9GB<size

    I usually send files through IRC for this kind of stuff, or an intermediate FTP site. I don't know if IRC handles >2GB but you can split it into pieces and send it that way.

    If you're only get 5KB/s across, it is probably due to the network between you two cannot transfer at that kind of speed, sort of like going through congestion zone in London

    Re: Best software or way of sending files over net 9GB<size

    how about a more creative approach?

    you rar split it, then burn it on to normal 4.7gig dvds, then post it?

    i think its quickes and cheapest method, (consider the power costs)

    Seeing the length of time this thread has been discussing it, it could have been sent bit by bit using morse code, or taken by runner carrying it in a cleft stick!
