Try what Jeff said --

Or try this - something I do  all the time with friends from as far away
as Australia and Brazil.

  Install  Filezilla Server (Filezilla.com) - the free file-server
software - on your computer, set up an account  and account folder for
each of your customer/clients, and allow them to download direct from
their account folder on your computer. When  I have something for them -
I send them an email notifying them there a new file in their account,
and they then log onto the file-server - enter their UserID and
Password, and then download the file. File size doesn't matter. 50 mb
would be fairly fast - 4.5 gigs might take a bit longer - but it's
doable.   Easy as falling off a greased log.

This is an FTP process and your customer/client will need some kind of
FTP software - Filezilla Client  is the free  FTP companion to Filezilla
Server. Both programs work really well.
