upload it to mediafire or something

MediaFire is probably best. OneDrive works too, but they might have a size cap.

Unless you're sending him Add-ons, Blockland development files, or Blockland rule34, I think it belongs in Off-Topic.

um convert it to an MP4.
Alternatively you can set up a torrent and leave your computer on while they download it.

if it's twenty-two gigabytes long it's probably raw video

.avi apparently

ya definitely compress it
sending a 22gb file will take a significant amount of time between having to upload it and then download it

compressing would make the process way faster

I should confront problems to the forums more often
I never thought of compressing it because I don't know how
and I'll have to do it tomorrow

Download Filezilla server and have your friend download Filezilla client. Set up a connection for him for the folder with the files and have him connect and download it.

Alternatively you can send it over Skype because I think Skype does file transfers P2P.

Is SourceForge still riddled with malware? Because if so, he won't be able to download Filezilla without giving himself a virus or two.
