There is such a thing as a 2.88 Meg floppy, but I don't know much about it. How large is the file you're trying to download?
You can do various things:
1. Get a 2.88MB Floppy Drive.
2. Compress your 1.44 diskete.
3. Compress the file and copy it into a 1.44 diskete.
4. Use a zip-drive.
5. Use a CD-R
My opinion is to download the file first and then see what you have to see.
You can use File Shredder to split large files into smaller ones, so you can use normal 1.44 disketes.
Download it from here: http://www.windrivers.com/utility/sc...ng%20Utilities
Good luck.

I would try to download it to the hard drive. Then, if you need to take it to another 'puter, use WinZip (or something comparable) to compress it to a floppy.
Just a suggestion...
Good Luck!

Hey, it's all FM to me!
My life became much easier several years ago when I ran into File Shredder here on windrivers!!!!!
Does anybody remember using the old Fill command?

Why do convenience stores that are open 24/7 have locks on the doors?
File shredder is nothing....if you have to split up a file, wy not compress it too? Use PowerArchiver or WinRAR or WInACE and just make a multi-volume archive that maxes the volumes at 1.38 MB. https://forums.windrivers.com/
