You could try a different messaging service. Not tried that many, but ICQ has file transfer functionality as well and the speed on that has never been a problem when I have used it.

I suppose one other option would be to use something like HJSplit to chop the file up into segments that you can fit on to your webspace and let your friend get the file a bit at a time, but that is going to be a somewhat cumbersome solution.
