Actually most email programs limit how much you can send through email because it can mess up servers.
You may want to check and see if your email allows attatchments and how large.
You may consider setting up a temporary ftp server to move the files.

I'd suggest an FTP server as well--that way you can connect to your school from home and download them when you are able to.

 

[chaim]

how do you do either of them??

if your connection at home is 56k an ftp server wont help much-plus the school might not allow it...Why not just bring in a zip drive and some disks one day (borrow from a friend, make sure you get the driver disk that has the temporary drivers) and install the drive using the guest option...

You download a ftp server (war ftp is the one that I like to use). Set it up on the computer that has the MP3's, and give yourself a username and password with rights. Then on your home computer, use a FTP client to connect (cute ftp, leech ftp) to your ftp server. It will ask for an ip address and password. Once connected, you just click and drag. The files will begin transfering over. 56k connection will be slow getting all those files though...

i say transfer them to a friend at school who has a burner, then do it that way. it's much easier (ok, ftp ain't that hard.. but downloading 120 mp3's via 56k.. not fun).

you can also use sites that offer free drive space..
Upload to them and then download at home.

You can always zip them up: http://www.winzip.com

I wish my work limited email size

I have recieved 11MB emails twice
One of the VPs complained about email size being large and people in the field having a hard time checking emails because of it
I have recieved an email 4 times because the person was trying to make sure it got to everyone (this had a 400kB .doc attachment with 6 lines and a bunch of clipart)
One person had emailed another AutoCAD 14 (yes, the whole program, not just the .exe or installer)

go to like hypermart.net or free server, and upload them, then reconnect at home and download. or xdrive.

but i second the notion to find someone with a burner.
