Publisher's description
From Deepcom.com :Free File Splitter enables you to split large files into smaller ones, and creates a small executable file that can automatically rejoin the parts to recreate the original file. This means that you can send the smaller parts to anyone, and he can rejoin them without having to use this software (this is especially handy for transferring large files via email). This program can also be used to split large files into smaller parts so that they could be stored in floppy disks or CDs. There are no limitations on the file size, meaning that you can use the program to split huge files into any size you wish.

Version: Free File Splitter 1
"Performs it's duty at the cost of spyware/trojan installation."
Pros: It does the job it claims to do. It's a file splitter, and nothing more.
Cons: This does install a browser helper object (ad/spyware) and my virus scanner found 3 trojans upon installation. If you need a filesplitter, this is a decent choice as it's 'free' but it comes at the cost of PC security.

Version: Free File Splitter 1
Pros: Works efficiently and as expected. I especially liked the automatic rejoiner file, which makes rejoining the parts very simple, without needing this program.
Cons: It is very simple, so if you need fancy features, you'd better look somewhere else.

Version: Free File Splitter 1
Pros: It was small and fast...
Cons: I really need the splitter to keep the lines together...it would split a line right in 1/2. It would be nice to have the option to split after a carriage return.

"Description overrates product ability"
Cons: Description said "There are no limitations on the file size, meaning that you can use the program to split huge files into any size you wish. " I want to break a 10.5 gig file into 4 gig files to burn to DVD for archive. Software replies "Error: Size is too large" when I attempt this. Obviously you can not split file into any size you wish.

Version: Free File Splitter 1
"Works great, fast and free; No need for any programs to rejoin"
Pros: I particulary like this program the best out of two free splitters I tried. I tried this first because it can rejoin them without a program. When the splitting occurs, a .bat file is automatically created. The .bat file is a simple DOS command copy /b all the pieces back into one. That means if you send the files to someone, they can rejoin them without them needing the program. The program works by clicking on a filename, clicking an output directory and a user specified split size. The split size is inputted as a number with a KB or MB radio button.
Ok, so after I was already convinced on this program, I decided to try another one and do a speed test with another program that had great reviews (the 41Kb one). I noticed immediately it has a splice button which means you/recipient has to use the program to join them. Since the programs dont need to be fancy, speed is the thing I really want.
Ok, so I take a 730Mb ISO file for my test and I'm using a 1.0 Ghz with Ultra DMA 66 drives.
I chose 100Mb chunks. This program split it in 42 seconds and pasted it (with the self-generated .bat file using DOS' copy /b command) in 1:37. The other program was 56 seconds to split and 2:27 to join them (using its own program to join).
So with that in mind, it doesn't take a genious to figure this one out. This program is definitely going onto a CD for archiving :)
Cons: None that I can think of, except it doesn't split in 1 second
