    The maximum is 10mb for attachments on hotmail, and u would have to attach the files to an email even to save as a draft. Get a usb drive its alot easier if your going to have to do this alot. Maybe better hosting them somewhere, or save them online.

    Agreed. The only way to speed things up (without changing the connection) would be move the pictures manually to a computer with a faster connection.

    It won't matter where how fast the connection is on the computer from which you press the send button as the pictures will already be on the Hotmail server.
