[ELECTRON] sending 925mb video electronically

[rab fulton]

Uploading a single file that large is usually a bad idea as many of the online file hosting services do not support resuming downloads or uploads. If the download/upload fails you have to begin all over again. 


The method warez/release groups have been using for years is usually best. Use winrar or similar to archive the file into a series of 15mb-100mb chunks i.e. dvd.part1, dvd.part2 etc. Upload these to your preferred site. This also gives you the added benefit of error correction or at least detection.
