*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) I'm trying to send another member some photos I took at Hampton Downs last weekend. The files are 12mp, but xtra keeps timing out and wont allow me to send them. I'm on broad band. Any suggestions ?? Edit: I ended up sending them 1 at a time.. bit of a pain though Edited January 21, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll see if hes got them first It really depends on the file... Most of the time there is no point compressing jpg's (raw format might be a little different) as it doesn't reduce the file size by much at all, the files end up being about 95 - 98% of their original file size.

Carl 3 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Zipping is very easy: Download 7-Zip from here 7-Zip download - Is the best open source zip program and is nice and configurable Simply select all the images then right click and select "7-Zip -> Add to archive" Set the file type to zip, encoding method to AES-256, and use Ultra compression and zip those puppies up. If you really want to compress like mad and save file size, set file type to 7z format, LZMA compression, AES-256 encoding, and ultra compression. Just make sure your recipient knows to download the 7-Zip program in order to open a 7z file. Edited January 21, 2010 by pando Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2920 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 Glenn, I have only just spotted your thread - sorry! The problem is at my end, I forgot the inbox size for the account I gave you is very small, only about 10mb which is only enough for one of the files. I didn't appreciate quite how high your hi-res files are either!! I have PM'd you my work address as well which has a much larger inbox and should be able to cope with the files. Thanks for all your hard work on sending these pics through to me - it is much appreciated, +100points to the *Glenn* feedback score!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 If your on Xtra Glen they only have a 8MB send limit but I have been able to send up to 12MB via SMTP or Outlook express/Office outlook/Windows Mail. It was put in place maily so that people couldn't send huge files from a broadband connection to a dialup one because Outlook Express trying to bring in 8MB in on dialup was like trying to pull teeth.

pjay 8 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 Sorry Clinton, that is incorrect. Sending limit is 20Mb through both Webmail and Xtra's outgoing SMTP servers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Sorry Clinton, that is incorrect. Sending limit is 20Mb through both Webmail and Xtra's outgoing SMTP servers. I've just had a quick lookski, I thought it was 8mb, obviously changed it to keep up with the times a little, but it's now saying I can send up to 25mb on YahooSextra Edited January 25, 2010 by Clinton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 That is correct yes. Once it goes through all the hoops the email size increases a fair bit due to MIME encoding etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
