The best option would to rar all of the files and then use bittorrent if you are sending to multiple people or use aim's direct connect if it's just directly to one person. With bittorrent you have to make your own tracker and stuff, but that shouldn't be too hard

Everything should be reverted back to floppy disks!

FOOLS! Punch cards are where it's at, n00bs. I remember back in the day, half our punch cards were GOTO's.

Over the net? You could set up an FTP server on the target computer, and send them through an FTP client. I've never done that though, so I can't tell you how to do it.

Otherwise go with the floppys thing. Really.

I mostly have people grab it of my FTP and leech overnight since I only have an upload of 256k (30kb/s)

Or IRC is good for file transfers when it works for meh!
