Cap'n Refsmmat Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 They're hoping they don't have anybody that can actually use a terabyte of space. i.e. it's just advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5614 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I think you could theoretically use it all, if they didn't restrict your account. Part of the practicle difficulty would be that there's limits for attachment sizes. So you'd be filling up 1TB of space using max 10MB* attachments per email. *I don't know the exact value for gmail, yahoo! is at 20MB whilst hotmail is at 10MB, not sure about gmail, although I'm pretty certain it's not more than 20MB, unless they just upgraded at a similar time to this 1TB upgrade.

RyanJ Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Yes, but you can only upload certain sized file at a time, right? Yes - right now its 50 [acr=Mega Bytes]MB[/acr] per file but they may upgrade that again one day if they get lots of cusomers!

5614 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 wanna make one?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 wanna make one?!? It would be no easy job for this site. You'd have to split the file into 50[acr=Mega Bytes]MB[/acr] bits and then upload them with a special E-mail title. Then when you need to download them you'd need to download them in the right order and re-intergrate them It could be done but it would take some work ;-) Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doG Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Ummm... I don't think you can use it all... thats more space than I have on all my hard disks! Sure you could. Just use it to store the value of pi or phi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 err, does that gmail thing split it up??? I know a good program which splits files, you're meant to download it from here: http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit but "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later." So try somewhere like here: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,20360,findid,42068,00.asp it's just a .exe file and it's the simplest thing to use. Open > Split > Browse to file > directory for the split file > specify max file size > it turns it into myfile.001, myfile.002 etc. and then you just use the program to bring it back together again, very useful thing.

ecoli Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 wanna make one?!? wish I knew how... but I'd certainly appreciate a copy if somebody else did it! hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 wish I knew how... but I'd certainly appreciate a copy if somebody else did it! hehe. Same here. @5614: That program would work if you could find some way to link it into a new program and use it that way. Otherwise you'll have to split the fukes then upload them manually.

5614 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I haven't got any idea how to do it either, so don't ask me! RyanJ, I'm liking the sig(s)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
