Transferring Files

[scooterb]

I downloaded a single (.iso) file that is just over 4gb in size. How would I be able to transfer this file to my other computer in another room? I have a wireless connection. Will it increase my usage (uploads, d/l's) in any way?

Thanks

either send it via the network, or split it into smaller files with winrar and transfer with USB flash drives or DVD's

It's best to get a USB. But I doubt you'd be be able to get a 4GB one. So I reckon your best bet would be to use an external hard drive. If you don't want to buy one, then just borrow one from someone.

how?

Do you know how to create shared folders?

You can actually get 8 gig USB keys for not much money. One thing you also have to remember is that for FAT drives (iRivers, portable HDD etc) you cannot transfer files over I think 5 gig. In that case you have to split it up using Winrar but I'd recommend that anyway.

You could just burn it onto a DVD.

Providing you are just using the network, it wont use any of your dl/ul usage.

Easiest way is to burn it, but copying it over the network would be fine too.

Use a USB, external hard drive, or burn it onto a DVD as others have said.
