Gsplit is the mother of all file splitting utilities

Overview:

This application is a free reliable file splitter that lets you split your large files (like Self-Extracting archives, Zip archives, disk images, multimedia, music, video, backup, image, archive, log, large text, document files...) into a set of smaller files called pieces.


Review:

Gsplit is a file splitter program with some very interesting features that put it above most other free splitters. For starters Gsplit can use two type of pieces when splitting files: Spanned pieces and Blocked pieces. Spanned pieces are used to split files directly into several disks like for example floppies. All you have to do is to to insert a new disk when prompted and Gsplit will automatically calculate the pieces size until it completes the splitting process. Blocked pieces are just your standard fixed size pieces. By default Gsplit creates a small executable (SFU) when you split files, this is used to unite all the created pieces otherwise you will have to use a small tool called "GUnite" to merge the pieces back to their original state. This SFU (self-uniting functionality) can be configured to display custom messages, set a default folder for extracting files and even set to work in silent mode among other things. You can store info into created pieces like dates and perform checks to see if a piece is corrupted and promptly replace it with a new good piece. Finally Gsplit is fully portable you can carry it with you all the time.
Gsplit is easy to use and is simple enough for the average user however it's large quantity of power features makes perfect for people that are just constantly sharing files on the web and need an advanced splitter. Available for all versions of Windows.
