Does zipping mix files (44/24) degrade the audio quality at all? |

This is where I find "yousendit" to be invaluable. |

Also, if I understand the issue correctly, some files (like project files) that use resource forks can be damaged by some servers that inadvertently damage that part of the file. Zipping the files puts them in a 'container' to eliminate that problem. I once encountered this problem being sent Ableton Live session files that would not open when placed directly on the server, but would when zipped. |

Absolutely not. I request zipped files simply because I have had audio files damaged by errors in the online transfer, but was unaware of the problem since the files would play, only to discover a few audible "clicks" were now present. When a file is Zipped, the Zip archive simply will not open if there are any errors or the file is corrupt. Saves me a lot of anxiety. |

Have you Yousendit users had any questions about the use of this service? I've been interested in it.. |

Hey, I've been meaning to ask this here. I've got an FTP server but it's bloody slow to some customers. The Yousendit dropbox seems pretty good, but I've been worried about it's potentially unsafe/unprofessional aspect to some clients. I know it's not, but some might feel that way. Have you Yousendit users had any questions about the use of this service? I've been interested in it.. |

I've been using sendspace, megaload and yousendit for a while. Haven't had one problem (knock on wood). I have my own ftp site but it's more of a hassle for clients. TW |

FWIW, if you use yousendit, make sure the files are zipped. While I've FTP transferred several TB's worth of data over the years with no dropouts, weirdness, etc, I've had two projects sent to me with dropouts from yousendit. Subsequently, re-downloading the files from yousendit corrected the problem, so it was a delivery issue... |

What the biggest file you can send? |

Digidelivery seems interesting, the thing that's a bummer is you can't archive files. Do you have to buy a piece of hardware for this? Is there a monthly charge? What the biggest file you can send? TW |

Can you be a little more general please? |

As for zipping.. I should start asking for that, even if I've come this far with zero problems. |
