How many times have you tried to send large files via Internet? Have you ever needed to give files to a friend, or take file home from work, only to find they are too large to fit onto a floppy disk or to send them by email? Sometimes we need to split a large file into several small parts for some reasons, such as send them by email over the Internet; store them on some floppy disks and so on. So a powerful and easy to use file splitting tool is very necessary for us. Do you have the same requirements that I have mentioned above? Here I will recommend some popular and excellent large file splitting tools to you. They are: Dariolius, Splitter & Merger, 001 Joiner and Splitter Pro and WinUtilities File Splitter. Following are the detailed introductions of them.

Dariolius is a versatile program that lets us split files according to different criteria. We have full control of how we wish to split our files. Dariolius can be set up and run unattended, and we can choose to recombine the files using either a DOS batch file or a merger program, depending on our needs. Dariolius also has built in email support, so we can easily send large files to a friend from within the program. Dariolius allows us to split files using one of several parameters: Size of each part: Splits the file such that each part is of the specified size. The last part may be smaller. Useful for making the most use out of removable media. Number of parts: Splits the file into the specified number of parts, each of equal size. The last part may be slightly smaller. Transfer each part in: Splits the file such that each part can be transferred at the specified speed within the specified time. Files are split into parts of equal size, except for the last part, which may be smaller. We can split many files at once. Just set them all up, and split. Dariolius is designed to run unattended, so we can go away and come back later to check the results. We can choose between using a batch or program file to merge our split parts. Batch files take less space for smaller jobs. Useful for advanced users. Program files are more powerful and interactive. They also take less space for larger jobs.

Splitter & Merger is a tool whose main function is to split large files into smaller ones. With a reduced file, fewer parts are generated and as a result the split file is easier to transport. As opposed to many similar tools, Splitter & Merger splits the files at very high speed. Its reduced size of 29Kb makes it very easy to transport and compared to similar products it doesn't depend on external files (DLLs, OCXs, etc.) other than those standard provided with Windows. Splitter & Merger can generate the first part as an executable module (SFX). As a result Splitter & Merger can rejoin the parts again in another computer without Splitter & Merger installed. Splitter & Merger can integrate with the Windows shell. Now users can split any file by right-clicking on it and choosing "Split with Splitter & Merger". In a similar way the parts can be rejoined easily by right-clicking the appropriate .SPL file and choosing "Merge" from the Windows context menu. Splitter & Merger can split files easily by dragging any file and dropping it over Splitter & Merger icon (and rejoin files by dragging the appropriate .SPL file). Splitter & Merger can generate the parts directly to a removable unit (like diskettes) and also make disk spanning. To do this we must select "autodetect" as the part size. (Read the manual for more details.). Splitter & Merger has no limit to the size of the file to split. It can split files bigger than 4.2 GB without problems.

001 Joiner and Splitter Pro allows us to easily join and split files of any size or kind. The files created have the extensions of .001, .002, etc. Have you ever downloaded files with the .001 file format and wondered how to join them? All we have to do is double click the file with extension .001 and the rest of the file parts will be loaded into 001 File Joiner and Splitter Pro and will be joined together with a click of a mouse. Here are some key features: Allows convenience of sending large files via email,or multiple diskettes, as we can break them down to any size. Allows us to split and recreate any file type, whether avi, mp3, exe, or any other file type. Allows us to split our files into segments of just about any size. Allows us can join the files back together without our software installed (this makes our newly split files much more portable. Take the split file parts anywhere!). No maximum size limits, even tested on files that are 10 gig in size and larger! Drag Drop Support! Simply drag our ".001" file into the join window and begin! Friendly, easy to use interface. Keeps track of all split statistics for our viewing pleasure. Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Media Center Edition, and Vista Support! Full install/uninstall support and so on.

WinUtilities File Splitter can split any type of file into smaller pieces and rejoin them to the original file. It helps us copy the split ones to floppy disk or CD/DVD, or send them via e-mail. WinUtilities File Splitter can split large files into smaller ones. We can combine the pieces together to get the original large file too. There are no limits to how large a file can be or how many pieces it can be split into. Whatever be the reason for splitting, copying into media or sending through email is easy. As combining back into the original at the destination is no problem at all. When the file is being split, a batch file BAT is created. Simply running the batch file recreates the original from the pieces. It also names the file with the original name. We are able to print any folder content, keep track of the split items and view available RAM. The interface is simple. The opening screen offers the options of splitting a file by size, by numbers and by segment. When splitting by size, we can specify the size of the splits in KB/MB sizes. Split by numbers takes in just the number of pieces that are required and the file will be split into as many files of uniform size. In the by segment option we specify the starting byte position and ending byte position. Overall: WinUtilities File Splitter is a nice and simple utility. But utility wise there are not many reasons that we may need such a utility today. May be for e-mail attachments only!

In a word, with Dariolius we can split files according to different criteria. We have full control of how we wish to split our files and we can choose to recombine the files using either a DOS batch file or a merger program, depending on our needs.
