I have a dial-up connection and a 4 meg wmv file I want to send to someone.
Is this going to take all weekend or is there a quicker way to get the file
to them?
 
Or to put it another way, 33554432 bits / ~36600 bits/sec (upload side of
56k is still limited to 36.6, at best, often worse) = 916 secs, or ~ 15
mins, not counting overhead. So no, it won't take all weekend :)

Perhaps the bigger problem might be limitations your ISP places on email
attachments (assuming email is the delivery mechanism, of course). You
could convert it to mp3 and reduce the file considerably as well.

=============================
If you use any of the instant messaging
programs maybe you could transfer the
file that way?

Also you might upload it to a site like one
of the following:

"YouSendIt"
Transfer files up tp 1 GB:
http://s10.yousendit.com/

"Dropload"
Transfer files up to 100MBs:
www.dropload.com
