Storm311 Posted January 27, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 27, 2007 Couple of them are..most are about 800 Mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 27, 2007 CID Share Posted January 27, 2007 My wife uses "You send it" but I just looked it up again and they have changed. You used to be able to send files up to 1gig now its only 100mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm311 Posted January 27, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 27, 2007 lol there goes that option eh? wonder if I should use some spare parts and build up another computer and just use it as a server on my LAN and use it as the FTP client - but it will just be set up as an overnight type thing when I'm not actively using my connection.

coknuck Posted January 27, 2007 CID Share Posted January 27, 2007 If you want to pay $4.99 a month you can send files up to 2gig. http://www.yousendit.com/whyyousendit.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm311 Posted January 27, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 27, 2007 I think that would be more of a last resort option...I'm not one who likes to pay for things that I can set up and have for free....know what I'm saying? I'll try tommie's first if all else fails then I guess I'll have to pay for it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
