| 337288 | 2005-03-23 19:15:00 | I am trying to send myself a 69gb file by gmail as an attachment. The result is a message "can not drop directory here" and it just converts it to a shortcut to the directory. Not much use if my hd has just been formatted. Is there any way I can send it. I want to save it in gmails coffers while I do a re-install. It took the best part of two hours to download it in the first place and I don't want to have to do it again. And I do mean 69 gb's NOT mb's. |

| 337289 | 2005-03-23 19:28:00 | ummm...........if gmail is ONE gb how come you think that you can store a 69gb file there ? | drcspy (146) | ||
| 337290 | 2005-03-23 19:37:00 | It would possibly take days to send 69gb even if gmail had that much storage. A better option would be to put in another Hard drive and store it on that while you do your re-install | 4bes (2848) | ||

| 337292 | 2005-03-23 21:04:00 | If it took so long to download why do you want to go through all the hassle of uploading it and redownloading it via email? Sending via email protocol will make the file even larger. Why not just burn it to a CD with anyother game patches etc? |

| 337293 | 2005-03-24 00:36:00 | what sort of extention is it? you cant send .exe or .zip files, gmail has blocked them, so just change the file extention to something like a .doc, then when you download it to your pc change it back to what ever it was | Prescott (11) | ||
