file transfer going wacko

[illusionm8]

this pretty much describes it

[16:00] <@illl> friend is sending me a 4gb file
[16:01] <@illl> but it is only coming to me at 300 mb
[16:01] <@illl> tried sending on AIM and IRC
[16:02] <@illl> i dont get it
[16:02] <@illl> i have 5gb free space
[16:03] <@KarmaKop> what filesystem?
[16:03] <@illl> hrm i think both NTFS let me make sure
[16:04] <@illl> ya
[16:05] <@illl> like when we start transferring for ex his dialog will say xx kb out of 4gb.. 1% complete
[16:05] <@illl> mine will say xx kb out of 310 mb.. 15% complete
[16:05] <@illl> and the transfer will stop once the 310 is done

Just have him mail you the DVD, or try an FTP server.

I don't think IM programs are designed for DVD's, try FTP or torrent (maybe?)

I sent a 10gb rar over aim. So big files shouldnt be a problem
