I am in a hotel in Toledo again, have comp with me, recording studio, not laptop, recorded some stuff, made it an MP3 and its under 2 megs but when I went to email it to my daughter in Brazil, a message came back saying my server limited the size of my email. Is there a way of sending it out that gets around that limit? Don't know if its from my IP back home, which I don't think it is, or a limit of this hotel. I called the product support line for the wireless link in this hotel but they didn't know the limits of email! Any help?

Originally posted by PhlabibitThats what it looks like. At home during the music competition, I sent 8 meg files with no problem but I am on the road now using the wireless link of the hotel. I noticed when I downloaded an mp3 converter, it was pretty slow, about 78 K/sec which is about one fifth of what I have at home which should be no big deal, don't know if there is a connection between that and my email limit. If the limit is here at the hotel, I would have to split up the email into small pieces, don't know how an mp3 file would fare under those conditions, don't know how the pieces are reassembled into one file. I saw in outlook express tools a box that said break up emails if over X amount of size. But how would it get reassembled?

If you are downloading anything at the minute, stop, send the file then resume.
Maybe there is something killing your bandwidth.
Or maybe her inbox is full and the message is bouncing back..

Linux has a "split" command which splits a file into smaller chunks and a "join" command that puts them back together (it works on an mp3 just fine).
Maybe one of the "Windows" boys and girls can let you know if there is a Windows equivalent.
EDIT: good thinking batman.
EDIT EDIT: WinRar Does the same with a bit of compression too.
Originally posted by PeachyHey, thanks for the link, will study it later, have to go to work right now. One question: Do you have to use the program on both ends or can I send it and the receiver end does not have to do anything?

Originally posted by sonhouseYou'd have to send the program to the receiver too who would have to "join" the pieces UNLESS your receiver has the "rexec" or "ssh" tools installed (always on linux but possibly with Windows too) in which case when the file is received you could remotely stitch them together.

However probably best to just let the receiver do it anyway.
