How more useless can Vista get?

Vista, is pissing me off. I'm trying to send my .rar file through Email, and I keep getting this (sorry if it's large, Photobucket keep being an ass when I try and change the size. ¬¬)

I've tried though my attach my file, (The pile of books - Silent Hill Stuff), as it has all the songs and other things I need to send over to my PC, but I tried though MSN, and MSN is a prick, keeps saying it's "unsafe" when I've done scans and nothing's found, Google Mail, says it's too big, and the email thing in my screen, doesn't support Hotmail accounts, but when I use something else I get this, and I don't understand it.

What can I do? I know the file (which was my Silent Hill file, with all my Silent Hill music in, but the site I WAS getting the fan-made music from, has been replaced by a fucking YouTube channel, and I can't get the rest of the music, but I have them all on my laptop but I don't remember what order, the songs go for each album What can I do? The file is 3.50 GB, and it keeps saying "Uploading…" when I try and attach the fucking file to Hotmail (by sending an Email to my other MSN account). So, I'm out of ideas, since I want to send all my SH music to my PC in case my laptop dies.

Disreguard the last edit, mediafire would only be good in this situation if you wanted to pay money…

Anyway, get on an IRC server like abwayax.com or something via mIRC ( http://mirc.co.uk ) (download the client then after getting everything setup such as your nick (spaces cannot be used, nor '][+etc. while `-| and _ can), type /server abwayax.com:6667 to connect then type /join #glitchcity and have the other person do this as well and send the file directly via rightclicking and hitting DCC>SEND then clicking the file to send.)

And I'll have to go through the fact, I tried to use something like this forum, as in the types of files to make this type of forum and I couldn't. Plus my PC, is useless. When I sent my Forbidden Siren 2 OST songs, to my PC I kept getting something about the files, being wrong/too big. How can they be too"big" if I sent one song at a time.

Could you compress it/ separate the folder until it's small enough to be sent over Google Mail?

The thing I detested about Windows Vista the other day is that I was away-from-keyboard for 10 minutes and then the system update kicked in!

I thought it wouldn't really matter because it would be an opportunity to install the updates but the computer took about half an hour apparantly to just install them, the bad thing was that after that long wait I only got one taunting message 'Updates were not configured correctly, reverting changes.'

I also get the occassional disconnections every now and then as well :(

I've compressed the file as much as possible, and it still won't work. They have a stupid 25KB limit, and my file is past that because of all the music, other things I have in there.

Also, 7z compresses better than WinRAR if its settings are set to LZMA and Ultra.

I already have 7Zip. I've had it ever since I got my ROMS again. I have WinRAR on here, since most useless files opens with that heap of shit. I'll have to keep 7Zip on my desktop, since Vista is useless on choice for WinRAR/7Zip.

I can't use the file system, that creates this type of forum, with a bloody IRC. I know fuck all about anything like that.

It's not a filesystem, it's a program that chats with other people and sends files. :\

There used to be an IRC on here, but it died, shall we say. If 7zip can't make it smaller, I'm gona blow up Gmail. I don't know any others, other than AIM and Yahoo, but my PC hasn't got AIM but has Yahoo, but doubt can send files to the same address. Hotmail can. I hope I can send the Siren Soundtracks to my PC, I got the first on there, but having problems with Siren 2. The songs are written in Japanese, not in the Kanji form.

…The IRC server here still functions… just not with PJIRC.
