Data Exchange -- Please Help

So I'm starting up the new semester. My class is about 50 people so we're all a tight knit group. We share all our study info recordings, powerpoints, documents, etc.

I'm trying to email out a lecture recording to the rest of my class. The average size of these things is 150MB per lecture, way more than you can fit in an email attachment. I tried compressing with 7-zip but it was still way to big.

My question is does anyone know a good way to exchange information among a large group of people? Or does anyone know a better zip program that could better compress my files?

Thanks

You need to host it to a sound file site like...

and send it to them from there..

or something similar.

yeah there is. Best one I found is Drop Box. It's pretty sweet. Too bad I only found it by the end of my last semester, but still came in pretty handy.

Thanks that was a huge help. I'm going to see if my class starts using dropbox. The other one came in handy to because it doesn't require any software download for quick audio files.

+karma for both of you
