[DeTomaso] Fast File Transfers NPC

[SOBill at aol.com]

I need to send a 16Mbyte file to a friend in France.
AOL says it will take 34 mins!!!! uploading to their FTP  system. I assume 
the recipient will also spend 34 minutes downloading the  file.
My cable modem tests at ~ 500 kbps. Not very good. But, it is  what it is.
kbps = kilo bits per sec? kilo bytes per sec?
Let's assume kilo bits per sec 500kbps/8 = 62.5  kbytes/sec
16,000 kilo bytes/62.5 kbtyes/sec = 256 secs
256 secs/60sec/min = 4.3 min    HUH?
 
Does anyone know of a trusted, fast file transfer interface mailbox  sort of 
site where the file can be transferred and then picked up by the  recipient?
 
Many thanks, if you do,
