I use our library or a local cafe for transferring large files now.
Could that be an option?

I don't know of any library offering free web for uploads / downloads in my home town...

How long would you need to visit the library to upload 25 GB?

hmmm... a good provider would do it maybe in an hour ....

we have a bar here lets you drink coffee all day for £1.25 and has free wifi... just though somewhere might be useful. The library here has free wifi.

Not suggesting you take a holiday to the uk for the task though :shock:

Ok,

via my prepaid USB modem this would take several hours and would make me needed to split this into a few days.

I will check the local library. They moved to a new territory, so it's not far away from my home.

Ha, that's funny! Never heard it called analog mail. Perfect! :-)

ITSMERSH,

I think you said you are located in Kassel, Germany.
This web site gives you a map of free WIFI locations.

Thanks bigpup.

Yes, I'm located in Kassel, Germany.

Though, I don't have a Laptop Computer and no Smartphone. So I would need a place where there's also access to a computer. My local library (which moved to a new location lately) seems to have three or four computers in their room (I could see them through the windows), but need to find out how about the use and probably cost for a use (next week).

If I use the libraries computers as I am now I have a memory stick with Light or Seamonkey portable on it so I have all my bookmarks and a friendly browser.

I have a broadband dongle so for anything bandwidth heavy I take my stick and walk.
