I need to send a couple large files, around 1 - 1.5 GB in size, what's the best way to do this? I would like it to be as simple as possible, the files are going to someone w/ limited computer experience.

If time is not a major issue, burn a DVD and mail the files?
If not, try yousendit.com |

what pilot said OR you can use rapidshare. But for that you will have to split the files as the max upload limit is 300 mb.

I only use Yousendit when I want a file to be available for general download up to 100 times.
Most of the time, if I want to send a single file to just a single person, I use Mailbigfile, if only because the logo has an Aqua effect to it (how shallow, eh! Shame it's in the most disgusting shade of pink/ purple/ puce) and the fact that the upload progress bar actually works in Safari. Helvetica is my bitch.

I believe Skype has quite a large limit.

Unless you have a really good upstream, I'd suggest mailing a DVD too.
It would take me roughly 30 hours to upload a single 1.5 GB file from by home Internet connection. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Like I said, DVD is a no go, my friend doesn't have a dvd reader... I might just have to go there w/ a physical drive.
Or use the university network, although it would still take forever. User formally known as Sh0eWax |

What is the upload rate of your connection?
