E-mail up to 1 GB Attachments

Read about this in Tech Monday Section of Austin American Statesman. I used this. It is pretty user friendly (and free!).

There's a new way to send large movie, music and other files without worrying about whether the e-mail systems involved can handle large attachments.

Free software from Pando Networks Inc. automatically converts your attachments into a small file that the recipient can simply open to download the original file from Pando or elsewhere. Major e-mail providers generally limit the size of files you can send or receive to 10 megabytes. That's fine for text and even small photos but not for sending an entire photo album, music or video.

And even if your provider lets you send the large files, the recipient's service provider might not accept them.

With Pando, files larger than a specified size are automatically converted. A copy of the file is sent to Pando's servers, and only a small attachment gets sent to the recipient, who must have or obtain the free software from Pando.

Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system and Internet Explorer browser are required to send files using the Web-based plug-ins, but Mac users can get the free stand-alone application to open them — as well as to send their own.
