Very nice utility. But split archives are a better option.

Why not just use zip/rar/etc. and create self extracting .exe’s of the size you want?

I’ve used HJSplit quite a bit, but only because I’ve downloaded things that were already split.

For some reason split utilities were always available for free, ever since the floppy disk *shudder*/ pre-broadband era when one needed them way more. I prefer to rely on something like Winzip or Winrar when I need to split files coz mail services are for the most part unfriendly towards exe attachments. This does seem like the messiah of split utilities though.

Yeah. You need the program to split and join files. If for example I split a video file, the chunks get renamed videofile.flv.001, videofile.flv.002, etc. for as many pieces as there are. The person joining the files would need to have HJ Split on his or her PC (the user can download it on freebyte.com). If all the chunks are in the same folder, the user just needs to select the .001 file and it would start the join process.

Here are some screens I made using that zunePhone vid from the forum:
[i18.tinypic.com]
[i11.tinypic.com]
[i13.tinypic.com]
[i19.tinypic.com]
[i13.tinypic.com]

It’s a very easy process. About the new version- I use XP so I don’t really need it but I guess it’s almost twice as big because they probably made the splitting/joining faster. Other than that, the only difference I found is that when exiting in ver 2.2, there’s a confirm dialog, but it doesn’t appear in ver 2.3. But I doubt it’s going to make a difference that the file is 174kb, or 300kb, or 70kb. If the person really wants to, they can remove HJ Split from his or her PC when done with the joining process.

Looks like there is a newer version than that on their homepage that includes support for Vista. It weighs in at over 300KB though.

When you split files does this package the joiner needed with it?

I use HJSplit. No install required. The .exe is only 174kb. It’s created by freebyte(dot)com.

Here’s a download link: [urltea.com] (it says it’s 168kb, but when I download it it’s 174kb on my pc).
