Best Of: Best Free File Splitting Tools

I had downloaded a few movies the other day and was trying to burn them onto a data disk, I had run out of big disks and only had the 700 mb ones.Some of the movies were well over 1 gb in space, my best chance to keep these movies without having to burn them onto a dvd or have them waste space on my harddrive was to split the files up, to my surprise it was quite hard finding a decent file splitting tool, heres a list of the top free file splitters I found:

1) Gsplit: GSplit is a powerful file splitter that lets you split your large files (like Self-Extracting and Zip archives, multimedia, song, music, picture, document files…) into a set of smaller files called pieces. These pieces are easier to copy to floppies, distribute over the Internet or through E-mail, share with friends or colleagues, archive to Zip disks or CDs. The pieces can be easily combined, using the generated Self-Uniting Executable, that automatically restores the original file for you without requiring GUnite. GSplit also includes advanced features like different splitting methods (blocked or spanned disks pieces), CRC32 checks (detects file corruption), splitting logs, keep file information, create specific pieces with your own names and shell integration.

2) Dariolius: 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 (not even geeks use these) or to send them by email? Dariolius allows you to split the file(s) into smaller parts, allowing you to fit them on multiple disks or send them by email. You can choose to later recombine the files using either a DOS batch file or a merger program, depending on your needs. Dariolius offers you several options when splitting files, you can either specify the exact size of each part or simply tell the program how many parts you want the file to be split in. If you intend to send the files over the internet, the program can also calculate the best size, based on the tranfer speed. The interface is easy to use and hardly requires any further explainations.

3) KFK: KFK lets you split large files into multiple parts and later merge them again to rebuilt the original file from the split pieces. You can define custom sizes for the split parts, select from common sizes (CD, Floppy etc.) or specify the number of splits you want to get as a result. The program also supports disk spanning, allowing you to split large files over multiple Floppies or CDs.
