I am trying to obtain a video from Alan (Headhunt) but the file is 210mb and my max email capacity is 100.00 (I actually only have about 20mb left). Is there anyway to compress this file or something of that nature so he doesn't have to send a hard copy? Thanks.

is he trying to send through your email on here or your actual personal email outside of here??

Personal email, but my email is a school provided one so they don't give me much leeway on storage

My gmail account only has 4gb. Yousendit free version has a limit of 100mb. You can ICQ send it or setup a personal ftp site.

Well all I really need is that video (210mb) so gmail should work perfect. I just registered. Thanks for your help guys.

I just found this thread. The problem is more on my end. No way I can upload 210 MB. I have high speed cable at 3MB but that is download speed. My upload speed is 232KB. My server times out when I try to e-mail more than about 15MB.

Alex, send me a snail mail address and I will put a disk in the mail this weekend.

Alan by next spring I am going to have a fix for that problem. I am getting ready to order a new computer so I edit videos. I am going to put two cameras on the boat and a CD recorder. Hopefully we will have some good video!! I think I am going to install two Speco waterproof cameras and put in a Sony GVD-1000....Mark
