NEW YORK - There's a new way to send large movie, music and other files without worrying about whether the e-mail systems can handle large attachments.
Free software from Pando Networks Inc. automatically converts your attachments into a small file that your friend or relative can simply open to download the original file from Pando or elsewhere.
Beginning Tuesday, Pando is offering plug-ins to work with most Web-based mail services.
Major e-mail providers generally limit the size of files you can send or receive to 10 megabytes. That's fine for text and even small photos — but try sending an entire photo album, music or video, and you run against the caps quickly.
