a friend of mine has 2Gb worth of video that im trying to get from him and our torrent idea didnt work.

im thinking an FTP is the quickest way but i dont know how he would set up his computer to be an FTP host.

any other ideas?

 

$4 account on Gigasize.com?

or

?

2GB max, though.

 

you can set up a free FTP account using dropbox.com. you can share up to 2.25GB for free and upgrade if you want more space.

 

Rar it and split it up into two 1 gig files then yousendit.com or rar and make an S ton of tiny files that can be emailed.

 

Torrent is the best. Why didn't it work?

 

torrent didnt work because i couldnt find a seed. im trying to avoid him aving to upload it and me having to download it. are there no direct file transfers?

 

Fedex a DVD.

 

There are plenty of FTP apps on download.com

 

using AIM

 

^^ cool.

YOu got me interested so i was surfing around and found this site. Interesting concept. All browser based transfer.

Aim or MSN would work.

 

remote connect, windows built-in or any other freeware clients... ftp is the simplest, using serv-u or similar programs.

AIM and such are excruciatingly slow as you are routing your data via their capped servers.

P.S. if you guys do this exchange of files a lot, I suggest VPN if you are network friendly.

 

info on remote connect?

 

It isn't that slow (at least MSN isn't). For the end user it is a easy way of transferring files. I have had to do it many times with people who aren't familiar with FTP or VPN.

 

Yeah, AIM is PAINFULLY slow. 2GB would take weeks.

Just find out where the porn originated from and download it straight from the source

 

To make your own torrents, you need to supply a tracker. There are plenty of public trackers to use. Just don't give the torrent file out to anybody else. If you are still concerned about privacy, rar into a big file, give it a random name and password it.

I love transferring large files by BT. Anytime both of us are online, it will start transferring and resume is not an issue.

 

bloacked at work

 

ended up breaking the videos into multiple parts. part 1 is almost done and he is going to put part duex on a friends ftp host.

 

^glad you figured it out.

on a related note, I download alot of music, namely 1-2 hr DJ mixes. One that I wanted was in .rar (versus the usual mp3)...would this play in Itunes or do I need to then convert to mp3 after the download??

I was wondering this and want to know before I download it and try it out. thanks.

 

Compressing to transfer is helpful too

Use Skype to transfer files

 

RAR is like ZIP. Download WinRAR or 7Zip and decompress the file to get to the actual music files.

 

thank you Stogie.

 

Everybody gets one...

 

 

This is what I do.

 

came in to say dropbox and see that it has been covered. I use it for the research project im in

 

Thanks FG Spidey reference

What about VNC? Too slow?

 

Relevant?

Someone got it!

 

All this trouble to trade porn??

 

the torrent would have worked if you setup multiple machines, preferably as many hosts as possible, with the file. with one seed its just as effective as all other options

 

Shut up!

 

I know I'm late and the party is over but this for next time

Use this to do one time transfers of files of any size. This would've been much easier than what you did
