Despite the fact that there are several ways to cut files into pieces, it is preferable to use the WinRar program for these purposes. The advantages are obvious: this program is already installed on the overwhelming number of computers, most users know how to use it, backlining of files is extremely simple. Thus, the recipient of the file will not puzzle over how to glue the downloaded file.
Necessary
computer, WinRar program
Instructions
Step 1
WinRar allows you to cut files of any type. In the example we used a video file (avi), 449 mb in size. Suppose it should be cut into pieces so that each of the pieces does not exceed 100 mb, in order to subsequently upload it to depositfiles. Right-click on the file and select WinRar / Add to archive from the menu.
Step 2
This will open a window that looks like the screenshot, where you need to specify a few parameters.
Archive name: you can leave this field as it is.
The name of the folder where the cut files should be saved (browse button): you can leave this field as it is.
Compression method: no compression.
Divide into volumes: 100mb. Since the default size in this field is bytes, do not forget to add "mb". It is important. If you don't, you can end up with thousands (or even tens of thousands) of pieces of 100 bytes each.
Step 3
Also, you can select the volume size from the list. For example, if you need to burn a large file to multiple CDs, you can select a preset value from the drop-down list. For example "700mb CD". Or use the "automatic detection" option, and then the program will itself determine the size of the archive, depending on the media on which the recording is taking place.
The rest of the settings and options are almost never used, so leave them at the default.
Step 4
After everything is ready, click OK. The process of cutting the file into pieces will begin. This may take some time, depending on how large the file you need to cut. As a result, you will receive several archives (multi-archive) of the specified size and which are ready to be downloaded. At the end of each volume name, WinRar automatically adds part1, part2, etc. so you don't have to worry about it.
