    Bragging? It's a pitiful speed compared to what the lucky people in the USA have like 50 MBPS upload and more.....10 MBPS upload is very poort. Even 50MBPS is not slow but nothing to brag about. 100+MBPS is what I would brag about.

    I think this is the best idea for now until some site decides to open up the limit for unlimited storage! :D

    I live in the US and I can tell you that not everybody gets those speeds. I get 6Mbps down and 1 Mbps up.

    Uploading to mega.nz now it allowed me to upload the 14.8GB file :)

    Let me know if anyone wants the link, it's a portable USB image that you can make to create a Paragon Backup and Recovery Disk. Plug it into your computer and boot off it to backup or your restore your PC to any point. Works with NVME drives unlike Macrium Reflect which doesn't.

    It is nice to know that Mega can do it. Well, other substitute is Bittorrentsync, getsync.com

    Setup a FTP server or use a point-to-point VPN. Also you can setup a Apache Web Server with auth and whoever should be able to download via HTTP (I recommend FTP though)

    Uh um...congratulations, but you're only part way there...:g:
    The problem that I didn't see mentioned is what type of speed and where is the download to be?
    Can you imagine downloading for hours and hours, getting all the way to maybe 15GB complete, only for the download to be interrupted for just a split second, and NO resume???:eek::throw:

    You should have, could have, split the file as 95+% suggested...:rolleyes:
    But I do sincerely wish your recipient the best of luck with their download...;)
    :)

    About 25 years ago, I was the admin for our department HP 9000 HPUX CAD system. Its 500-mb hard disk was 3 feet long and 1 foot square. It weighed about 100 lbs.

    So that would be about 3200 lbs worth of hard disks to send 16gb of data. :eek: Of course a reel of backup tape would be lighter. Ahhh the good old days. Boy am I glad they're gone. :clap:

    couldnt you just make a torrent file with an open tracker and send him that. Send it via bittorrent, just you and him.

    I have one of them, at least something like that (likely coming from Olivetti).

    Its motor is almost as big as the one of my actual washing machine :D
