    You could always use a site like https://www.megaupload.com which I think lets you upload a size of that file...(well I just tried and it let me start uploading a larger file). You can put in the email address of the recepient and it will send them a link when its fully uploaded. Free users have to wait 45 secs and enter a verification code (4 letters) to download.

    It might not look that professional if sending to a company but its very useful for sending to others.

    If you do decide on Badongo(it will take a while to upload), the receiver after download will need this program HJSplit to rejoin the parts.

    Because it is such a large upload, Badongo will split the links into 100MB downloads.
    Once downloaded, you will need to rename the extensions from .aa to .001, ab to .002 and so on.

    Once completed, open HJSplit, navigate to the first file appended .001 and click 'join'.

    I'm sure you'll hardly understand most of what I've written, but someone will. ;)

    If all of that is too complicated :D try Megashares instead.

    Yes Megaupload is a good idea, as long they don't place any dodgy advertising with the link.

    You could also try Yousendit. I've used it before for sending large files. It acts like an FTP server and they send you a link to send to anyone else so they download at their end.
    Quite quick and it was free last time I used it.

    Sign up for a Dropbox account, upload the file into your public folder, and email a link to it. The recipient will be able to download it directly.

    Easy.
