I've been logging on to the PBW website, and useing the upload and download functions there.
On my Win98 computer, I put a shortcut to SE4's savegame folder on my desktop so I can find folders easily.
Useing email is a pain for me. I use hotmail, and there's ads, and a separate page for attachment download and upload. Really irritating. But I gotta do it for a play by email game I'm in. My friend insists I zip my game file before I attach so Hotmail and Yahoo Mail don't "screw up the data's extension and make the file unuseable". He is not clear on the mechanisim and the effect.
Now realtime may be the Java-ware realtime client. It automates a lot of the above steps, and polls the server on it's own, starts SE4 when it downloads a turn, sends the file as soon as you're done. It's on the SE4 CD. It sounds cool, but I have a dialup, so I will wait till I get a cable modem setup before I learn to use it.
