x-no-archive:yes

I want to send a 250 MB Video HolidaySkiing Film from a Sony Camcorder
I presume I will need to send the software application to play this
Yes? No?

I have used www.pando.com says its good for files of up to 1GB but it
failed me it was going at a rate of 15kilobyes upload I have 1 Megabye
Dsl which was running fast the time no congestion.

I had to cancel the transfer as it was far to slow whats the best
solution to this problem?

Thanks

Heidy

Broadband uses Asymmetrical speeds. Uploads are significantly slower
than download speeds. What format is your video stored in ? The
only realistic way to get a file that size transferred is to convert it from
it's native format to something with a higher compression level to make
the file size smaller. You will still be faced with a long upload time.
Here's a calculator to estimate upload times:

Burn to CD and mail it to them.

Don't need FedEx. Regular mail should be 63 cents (2 oz) or 87 cents (3
oz) plus the cost of the CD. Of course it will take well over six hours!
