    I know a program but I wouldn't exactly call it simple, but if you find nothing else and are still interested let me know :)

    Need more details man. Transfer the file to where?
    Another machine? IF both have usb ports,
    get urself a ram stick. You can get a 256MB
    stick for about $12 US at many Walgreens
    Drug Store.

    Transfer from one person to another, but email and IMs have a stupid 10mb limit. :$ Tried things like dropload.com, but for some reason they won't work.. And I can't really figure it out cause I'm not the one sending the file.. :confused:

    I'm not knowledgable in ICQ, but isn't there some way to share files on that?
    That's the fastest way I know of on a TRUE p2p transfer if Yahoo
    has that limit.

    I may try that, I had considered it, but I haven't used ICQ in ages, and I'm on linux so I'm using gaim rather than the actual client.. :confused: IRC had occured to me, but that's too complicated, especially due to firewall problems and such.. :confused:..

    they can easily rejoin it upon receipt

    It's going win -> linux, so most splitting possibilities I know of are out of the question.. :rolleyes: And sites like dropload and such have for some reason not worked with this particular file, nor has compressing it, or sending it via ICQ, for some reason there is a problem with it being recognized, but I don't see why that even matters just to send it, but we even tried changing it to txt to send if that might makje a difference, but alas I give up. :(

    I have a private web server with no maximum file size limit. Send me a PM. Uploading to the server is semi-technical, but I can tell your friend the exact commands to do it, and then I can tell you where you can download it from. =)

    It doesn't take long. I can run the full set of commands in 20 seconds (not rushing). Then again, I know what they all are by heart. Your friend could do it in under 2 minutes.

    I've given up, I think there is just something wrong with the file itself, because it won't work with winzip, or any online transfer sites, or ICQ or anything... Other files worked fine. :(

    if you use mirc you could send it no matter the size. go to http://www.mirc.com/get.html & read the directions. The only thing about it is that both you & the party you are trying to send something to must have mirc installed.

    ICQ can do any size also, just for some reason that one particular file won't send. :confused:

    Dropload.com is the same sort of thing, but apoparently there was some mystery problem with only that one single file, because everything else worked fine, just not that, and yet I was told the file itself worked fine.. :confused: Oh well, screw it. :rolleyes: Thanks for all the help though anyway. :D
