    A service like www.yousendit.com is good for hosting files.Note you dont need a valid email to send the file to just input anything that looks like one and it will give you a link to post on after uploading to their server.

    Most zipping programs have an option to split the file into parts. Or you can download a freeware file splitter program.

    The file splitter. Old but right good.

    Oversize files, I upload to my website [free from my isp] and send a link.

    I have a 1 GB limit on the site size wise though.

    CD, that is rather large and in that case, I just burn a copy of the cd and mail it.

    I use a bubble mailer and stretch wrap 2 or more cds, but for 1 cd it cost me about a $1 to mail. About $1.50 for 3 cds/dvds. That is the cheapest and easiest way to handle it I found.

    No, I do not insure the package either and have sent many a cd/dvd over they years with out a lose or damage to a one.

    Hope that helps!

    Many email accounts have limits like your own so Id suggest an upload site like http://www.sharebig.com/ which has password access for security.
    You can use something like winrar to make it more managable as multiple uploads

    500 MB could be a bit much to download for dialups when they slap a 24K restriction on the line like they do here. And yes, it is a mom and pop telco and what they are doing is legal.

    But I be on cable because of that so I have no problems.
