Question
Hi, how can i send a file with 15GB to my brother in Frence , i have a net line with speed 512MB ???
Iam waiting for answer

Answer
Hi Soha,
That's a pretty big file. Even if you zip it, I think it will time out and not send. You can try it by using any zip program. You'll want to make sure that your brother's computer will be able to unzip the file when he gets it.

Another option is to use an online file storage. Here's a place you can try http://www.box.net/individual that says you can upload files and share them with anyone. You can find other online file options by typing "online file sharing" in your browser.

Finally you can put it on a CD and mail it. I know that's what you're trying to avoid, but 15GB is pretty big for email.
