I have already accepted that the final comment I made in my initial email was
rather harsh.
I imagine that the gentleman concerned is grinning from ear to ear at the
thought of his being a beginner. I've got a good memory and he once described
his set-up in a debate about bad language.
The simple fact is that he has a connection speed that most of us can only
dream about and forgot that most of us need about 4 minutes/mb of file.
As Denis has acted to reduce future file size it can't happen again. Personally
I only send large files to people by prior agreement and then at the most
economical time.
