Actually, that's a good point. I doubt compressing it would accomplish much. > b) this sounds like the best solution.....to us. Me too.

How/where are they going to split them? Yeah, that's what I told the person that asked that question. :) > Is there a way to reduce the processing time? Faster computer?

Unfortunately, that's not an option; we're using the platform that we've been given and that's it. Of course, the beauty of it is that we can beat up the provider and say "Make it go faster!" without having to sweat the details. > Unfortunately, none of our clients (that I have immediate access to) receive files that big...
