are there any command line compression utilities you could run on the server to do it yourself?
Is the site on a shared server? now I read - $20 a month :)
Big log files. you must be logging everything. Are they IIS logs? Is there a way to filter what gets logged? ie no images.

Subject: RE: Anybody ever FTP VERY large files?
If I had my choice - no doubt.
In fact the host relented and zipped them for me. The argument, at first,
was that zipping such large files was an unfair use of CPU resources (and, I
think that downloading 8 gig would add a nice bandwidth overage to my bill).
So I cajoled a little bit and they've zipped them up - now they're a nice,
"small" 500 meg file. ;^)
Thanks for the help.
I'll probably be back once I can finally import these bastards and get some
useful information. Last I was able to look (before the hosted stats
package went haywire) we were talking 60,000 visits for the day (around
260,000 page views and 12 million hits). All run from a $20/month CFMX 6.1
shared hosting account.
Who says CF can't handle lots of traffic. ;^)
