I tried to have him do it through aol but he has to do it one at a time and I want him just to send me his whole file

I dont know much about web stuff I can do comp hardware etc, but online stuff I am learning and dont know much yet

zip everything up or put it in a .rar file and upload it to http://www.yousendit.com

You can send files over AIM easily, or have him set up a private FTP. I'd advise against uploading big files to YouSendIt unless he has a really fast upload speed, because large files time out a lot.

i dont know how to zip stuff lol or put it in a rar file

AIM's **** slow, usually hovering around 43 kb/s for me...it took me all night to dl several Floyd albums. But whatever works, works.

if u go to his house and transfer on AIM using the same LAN, u should get damm good speed. i send my brother files at 5-7Mb/s on a good day.

I've used Firewire to transfer between my old desktop and my laptop, and it worked great. Took a little bit to figure out the connection settings, but it was pretty speedy.

i will just burn them, but heck if anyone wants to trade stuff let me know if we can get some stuff workn

600 songs...can prally fit that on like 3 or 4 data cds. then put the cds on your computer and trasfer to "my music" or wherever. can also play the cds in your car assuming your deck can play mp3s

 

[VOA_NIGHTMARE 10+ year member]

yea thats what i am going to do, and my deck does mp3 "-) but i got a mix of stuff but I am going to go out and get all my cds from my car and put them on my comp and I have about 300 mp3 disks all filled and i got a bunch of videos cause I was going to put the dvd player in my car but i got the good uncensored vids. That show the good stuff lol

here are two altnernate methods. do any of you have multiple hard drives? if so, copy all the music to one hard disk then connect it to yours and transfer. also, i believe you can use a crossover ethernet cable to connect two comps together with out a hub/router.
