It night sound simple , but all i want to do is transfer a 7 minute video from my PC to my sister which i thought i could do by email but after hotmail said it couldn,t send it as it exceeded 25 meg ( its 34 meg) i opened up a sky account with email as i am already a customer anyway but that was the same (25 meg)

its not poker related but ive spent nearly 3 hours getting off my phone after purchasing a blacberry bolt on from 02 which wasn,t easy and although its a non-poker topic its a family video which is important to get to her

I,m no genius with computer jargon but if anyone can help in plain english how i can send it pls let me know. I should be able to just send it by phone 

Thx in advance 

Paul 

EDIT _ was gonna stick this is tech area but see its gone

    You used to be able to use a site called Megaupload for this sort of thing Paul, but the FBI shut it down as it was being misued for internet piracy.

    Try something like rapidfire.com I don't use it myself but I have heard it's the next best thing. It basically has you upload your video to their servers, they then send a URL link to your sister and she downloads the file using that link.

    Hope that helps.

    Yeah the easiest is to do what Dave said.

    I used Megaupload alot for work as it was always the site that worked without fail.

    Kicksend, Rapidshare and Sendspace are all ok.

    Just click the little picture icon at the bottom of the add new post box. It's to the right of the font size box.

    If you both have MSN Messenger then you could both logon at the same time and transfer the file that way.

    Wohoo - done it - This was a random picture. I look like a stalker but after i night out i joined that casino programme on one of the main channels. Must have been at least 2 years ago as i haven,t played roullette since

    I took the pic as my name appeared on the tele (joebananas) , then recognised Anna the other day whilst transferring my pics to computer . Got one of TH and TK somewhere at SPT,s

    EDIT : will try the MSN thing tommorow for the vid- cheers for help

    This is really slow for me and sometimes ends up with a failed transfer.

    Might be worth a try though.
