    Use a program such as AIM or ICQ, and do a file transfer. I once sent over 200mb through ICQ...

    Probabily the most convienent way is through FTP, but if you both have an AIM account and the time you can transfer it that way?

    I had a little ftp server program that worked great for that kind of thing. I haven't used it in a while though so I can't remember the name. There are lots out there so do a search. Try www.download.com

    i find MSN is slower then ICQ. ICQ is the best, besides FTP.

    Use ICQ or similar, far quicker and hassle free.
