4.17 GB animated gifs to upload, help!

My computer freezes up when I try to burn them to a dvd or cds, or winrar them. Now I'm thinking of uploading them on my ftp account. Should I be splitting them up to 100 gifs to a folder or something? why does it freeze up?

My specs are 180 GB HD, 2gb ram and a 2 GHz duo intel processor on a laptop.

The only reason I can come up with in the winrar case is that your HDD is formatted in FAT32.

try using 7zip and split the archive to 500 mb each
or use imgburn and make an iso of the folders.
