HOW TO SEND LARGE FILES TO YOUR CORRESPONDENT OVER THE NET

I am sure that one day you found yourself stuck in front of your system waiting for a large mail with "heavy attachment" to download. The heavy download being only something in one megabyte range.

Yes! till now It is not easy to receive or send heavy files - from one to several megabytes - with any of the current desktop mail system.

The receiver mail system may chuck off / hang up when downloading the mail. Even sending the mail with some popular mail system is not easy. Some of them do not cooperate at all; they are configured to reject files heavier than 1 MB. With ICQ Instant Messaging System you may succeed in transferring files up to 5 MB.

To circumvent such a limitation, the only recourse till now is the so-called "File Splinter" which perform the trick of splitting several megabytes in small chunks of files. The drawback, however, resides in the fact that your counterpart should also have the same brand splinter software installed into his system; otherwise he cannot recombine - on his hard disk - the several chunks of the spitted files.

Now all that is dark ages. You can now safely and securely transfer any amount of file 5, 10, 100MB over the net to anywhere in the world through the HyperSend webmail system.

It is simple and Free for 10MB transfer per month. HyperSend lets you send files securely using browser technology, bypassing the risks of cluttering your email system. It establishes a secure data channel all the way from your PC to the recipient's PC using the same robust security measures (SSL) that protect Internet financial transactions. It is full of options such as passport protecting your deliveries.

If you are interested, just log on to HyperSend website and sign in for a free account. They will send you a confirmation email and instructions on how to activate your account.

Just a tip: During the activation, HyperSend installs a small application - .500bytes - to your system plus a tray controlling little device. That intray application is automatically installed into the Start-Up folder. This proved to be a little annoyance as it wants to log on to HyperSend site as soon as you start your computer.

I have therefore removed it form the Star-Up folder. If you want to do the same here is how to proceed:

Now HyperSend had been removed from the Start-Up folder and won't load when you start your computer. You invoke it through its own folder in the general Start menue.
