View Full Version : Question-file size

I've come into a .wmv file of 9 meg that my ISP stops me from posting here.
(That's interesting; it let me receive it as an e-mail!)
Anyway, the .wmv is labeled "night vfr Aspen" and is a split screen view
out the front window. Shows an infrared image on the left and a naked eye
view on the right of a night landing in Aspen.
Two questions:
1-Is there any interest in seeing this movie clip?
2- How do I make it available?

I couldn't E-mail that from Comcast, either, counting encoding,
it'd be above my 10 meg limit. But, what is your NSP part of your
ISP doing that prevents you from posting this in pieces, the way
files of this size normally are? That's the whole idea of line
counts and multi-part binaries so that NSP servers don't choke on
it. I'm not personally into this kind of thing but Xnews and Agent
can easily break it up in 50 kb chunks, even posting in yEnc which
cuts the as-posted size about 38% or so.

One way would be to upload it to the free webspace that ISPs often give you
and post a link to it.
