[QUOTE="transpetaflops, post: 504622, member: 192007"] Thanks HB13DISH. I regularly transfer files of these sizes since I share all my recorded videos with other fans on my forum. For that purpose I settled for BitTorrent for two reasons: It keeps the integrity of the file by calculating checksums which it monitors throughout the transfer. BitTorrent also splits the file in literally thousands of individual pieces and allows you to download different pieces simultaneously from different people, effectively spreading the bandwidth load and utilization between everyone currently downloading the same file. Although I have 1 or 2 dial-up users on the forum, you probably don't won't to try transfer files of these sizes unless you have a broadband Internet connection. For my own part I can upload 1GB in 1.5 hours and download the same amount in 10 minutes on my 20/3 ADSL connection (effective speed 17/2). Just as Mark replied, BitTorrent or ftp would be the best options to transfer these huge files. Using ftp, one should consider splitting the file with WinRAR or similar so you don't have to upload the whole file again in case of an error during the transfer. WinRAR also has the option of adding checksums as an extra security measure. /Morgan [/QUOTE]
