SCP is good. Similar to FTP IIRC.

Yeesh, I'm sounding like Tom Clancy what with all these acronyms.

if your lucky enough to be on dialup since basically 99% of broadband peeps are behind routers.

Best way? If it's possible, scp.

Use KDX or Hotline. They essentially use FTP protocal but allow resume and the servers are
easy to set up and you can get by firewalls by going through http proxy.

www.haxialsoftware.com - for KDX client & server

- go to tucows.com for hotline client & server

fyi, I believe the new aim beta fixed the router issue.

With one gig, your connection will sure get broken before you can complete your transfer. Try using get right software also 🙂 It allows you to have simultaneous downloads of 4 parts, hence speed up ur download, and if your connection breaks, that you won't have to re-start all over. Cheers.

CD-R will be your best bet
nothing like a broken transfer resulting in corrupted files when you're ftping 🙁

Erm, SSH I meant. I used winSCP to transfer thing from my windows computer to my linux computer using that. IIRC, you connect using your SSH keys and the graphical interface is similart to an ftp. But yeah. 🙂

Reminds me of a mid-90's joke (remember how fast things were back then)

Customer: "What's the fastest way to transfer 500 megabytes of data between Texas and New York daily?"
Sales Rep: "FedEx."
