Hate to burst your bubble but unless your network is *HARD WIRED* for peer
to peer, your server is going to be doing all/most of the transfers
anyway...

As for how to break something into small pieces... a number of ways...
multi-part zips, email, local torrent, stuff like that...

| Hi This is the problem I'm trying to find a good solution
