[Cialug] Good File Compression Format For The Muggles?

[kslaugh19]

You could maybe drop the file in an FTP location and have the user retrieve it. Or upload the file to their FTP.

Nearly 100% compression:  Upload your file (up to 10GB) to transfer.sh 
and send the recipient the link in an e-mail.(*)

If you're worrying about compression in order to get a file successfully 
delivered through e-mail, you're using the wrong tool for the job.  Your 
problem no longer resembles a nail.
