Abstract
A system and method for transferring large computer files across computer networks that has a file splitter that separates a computer file into component sections, and a file transmitter that independently sends the component sections to a receiving computer by a recursive process that starts recursively splitting from a preselected maximum size for a component section and stops when the size of the smallest component section is equal to or less than a selected minimum size for a component section.

A system for transmitting a computer file from a transmitting computer to a receiving computer, the system comprising:
- a file splitter at the transmitting computer that separates the computer file into component sections;
- and
- a file transmitter at the transmitting computer that independently sends the component sections to the receiving computer;
- wherein the file splitter further comprises a recursive file splitter, wherein the recursive file splitter, upon detecting one or more transmission failures during transmission of a larger component section, recursively splits the larger component section into smaller component subsections for retransmission.
A system for transmitting a computer file from a transmitting computer to a receiving computer, the system comprising:
- means at the transmitting computer for separating the computer file into component sections;
- means at the transmitting computer for independently sending the component sections to the receiving computers;
- wherein the means for separating further comprises a means for recursively splitting, wherein the means for recursively splitting, upon detecting one or more transmission failures during transmission of a larger component section, recursively splits the larger component section into smaller component subsections for retransmission.
A method for transmitting a computer file from a transmitting computer to a receiving computer comprising the steps of:
- at the transmitting computer, separating the computer file into component sections;
- and
- at the transmitting computer, independently sending the component sections to the receiving computers;
- upon detecting one or more transmission failures during transmission of a larger component section, recursivly splitting the larger component section into smaller component subsections for retransmission.
