Does the OP have a friend or co-worker who has broasband
access? Would his ISP be willing to do this (and perhaps burn the
CD) for a small fee?
And yes, ftp is a better choice; while fewer every year, there
are still a lot of mail {user, transfer} agents that will choke on a
600 mb attachment. Also: crude calculations suggest this will
monopolize his phone line for over a day ....
(I'd send him my out-of-date (6.* and early 7.*) CDs, but a)
the postage would be huge and b) they'd probably get mauled by U.S.
postal inspectors.)
