Help sending files

[Manna]

I need some help with someone who is just a little more computer savvy than I am. I'm needing to send a large file to numerous people once a week starting in October. It's files from an audio CD that needs to go to about 15 people. I'm not sure how big every one is, but the first one is roughly 62 MB, and my email will only let me send out 10 at a time. It is broken down into tracks (9 for the first one, if that makes a difference), but a few of the tracks are bigger than 10, making it impossible to send.

Does anyone know of a better way I could transfer these files to my people? I'll take any suggestions!!

The easiest/simplest solution would be to host the files somewhere (do you have a website?), then just send everyone on your list a link to the files. That way they could download the files at their best opportunity.

I don't have a website. Would I be able to start one up simply for this purpose? How would I do that?

I found YouSendIt.com. The only problem with that is I have to send out individual emails for each track. Is there a way that I could simply send one with all of the info? I like the idea of yousendit, though, because it doesn't overwhelm the receiver's email inbox.

I'm sorry for the dumb questions! Thanks for any help!

Have you tried zipping the file?

Yep, was a no-go

Hi, Have you tried rapidshare.de? It allows a maximum of 300 mb upload and for download it is limited to some size per hour. So my suggestion is that to zip the whole CD with the best compression, into one file and if it is bigger than 300, then split it so each size is < = 300 MB.

I think that's going to work. Thanks so much for the help, everyone!

You're welcome

I asked a similar question awhile back and got some other great ideas from folks here... it may not hurt to have a backup plan. ...finally found it:

Keep in mind, with Rapidshare you have to make it available all in one file. Otherwise, if they aren't members, the people who wish to download it are limited to downloading only 1 or 2 files within a given period of time.
