Quick one for someone in the know

I`m trying to email some pretty large files average size 50mb. Is there any sort of programme i can use to compress them down to under say 10mb as it would make emailing them alot easier and speedier. Thanks in advance

Take your pick

7Zip I recommend.

If they don't compress enough, then a file splitter will do the job.

You could combine them both.

RAR can reduce the files down and split them - you may be better off sticking it somewhere like Rapidshare and taking it down when the other person's done downloading it.
