File transfer is one of common task that an average surfer performs every now and then. We often send important documents and files across the net to our friends and relatives. Mostly, these files are not big in size and are easily transferred from within our mail account. Files bigger than that can be easily transferred through services like SendThisFile and YouSendIt. These services also have size limit restriction for free accounts, and some of them throttle transfer rate. Suppose if you want to send extremely large file (exp. 500 MB, 1GB), how will you send it?Divide And Rule
The easiest way to send large files is to break them in small chunks, and then send all pieces one by one. Once they reach their destination, merge them to recover back the original file. How can we do that? How to break a large file in small chunks, such that all pieces can be easily merged later in a single click?GSplit: The Ultimate File Splitter
GSplit is a free file splitting software capable to splitting extremely large files in self uniting chunks. Gsplit gives you the option of creating the chunks of two types viz., spanned pieces and blocked pieces.
Spanned pieces are created across multiple disks, ideal for taking away in removable storage media. It is quite similar to RAID storage pattern of chunks across multiple disks. In this approach, the size of individual chunks is automatically decided by the software depending on the space available in disk and is variable. On the other hand, blocked pieces option gives you complete control of the size and type of chunks. In this approach you can specify the size of chunks. For example, you can set the option of dividing a 500 MB file into 100 MB chunks or 67 MB chunks or 23 MB chunks. The software automatically tells you the number of pieces that will be generated depending on the size you have mentioned. After all the pieces have been created, a single re-uniting .exe file is also generated (< 600 KB), that merges all the pieces together in a single click.
The destination computer doesn't need to install GSplit, because the .exe contains all the necessary code to reunite the file. Once the file splitting process is done, you can easily send them one by one via E-Mail, or any free file transfer service.
