That's clear to me, I am on a modem line and I would never attempt to send out binaries that large on my own.

However, I've reported a bug for some software and the other side has agreed to "send" me a newer version for free. I still hope they will send only a link and a registration key, but if not, the thing will have a binary size of 12 MB and I will be in trouble.

My current ISP supports only 5 MB, another popular freemailer in my country provides 20 MB - at least they allow me to send that large attachments. However, at the moment I am bombarded with SWEN viruses which fill the entire box and I thought it would be a good idea to open an account with fastmail, because of the virus and spam protection.

But here the 10 MB restriction hits me ...

I'll think about it.

Guido
