Answer 2

That is not advisable at all, even if your email provider lets you do it, you would be clogging the maibox of your recipient with something that will take a lot of time to download.

In order to send big attachments the best solution is to use file hosting services like Pando (www.pando.com), that lets you send big attachments up to 1GB for free without blocking your email services.

Answer 3

Burn it on a DVD and send it by regular postal mail. A DVD will be SO much easier and less time consuming for all concerned, AND they can watch it on their DVD player instead of being limited to a tiny computer screen.. However, if you are determined to send such a monster file by email, then you will have to break it into parts and send the parts one by one and then at the receiving end, reassemble the parts to make the original file. 1st: Go to http://www.download,com and search for a utility program to split files into smaller pieces and join them back together again. You will find many which will suit the purpose, both freeware and shareware. Or you can get something like WINRAR available at http://www.rarlabs.com for a free trial version which can make a compressed archive file and also split the archive into smaller pieces at the same time. Again, you will send the pieces and then use the same WINRAR program to reassemble the pieces at the other end and extract the file. Or, you could split the file into parts of 300mb (I think. It has been a while since I checked the size limit) or less and upload them to http://www.sendspace.com which is a free file sharing place. You upload files and others can download them. Again, using WINRAR, you can make the 3 or 4 parts to use sendspace. Also, you can limit who has access to the files you upload so only people you tell can access the file for download. Also, if I remember the last time I used sendspace, I think they delete files after 30 days on free accounts. 30 days should be more than enough time for everyone to download what they need to. You need the same programs to use sendspace as you would to use email, a splitter and joiner to work with pieces. Or, you can do it the really hard way, by email. Again, you have to split the file, but now you are down to maybe 30mb pieces. Some email services limit at 10mb. Check into the email service you wish to use (both ends) and see what they have in the way of limits. Then, on the receiving end, do they have a limit on how much disk space is available for a mailbox? My ISP limits my diskspace for email and web space to 50mb. In my opinion, instead of sending upwards of 30 emails with a 30mb attachment, use 3 or 4 files on sendspace and forget about transferring so much data via email.

Still, the easiest and most convenient for all concerned is to burn a DVD and use the regular mail, though using sendspace isn't all that hard either, or that much more time consuming.
