Hey man How big are the file's ?!
The way i know is if they are small put them on a floopy or a Cd or if you have a network card in both computer's conected them threw a cable and there you go or if you have msn you can send them
If you cant network them then you can put them onto CD, but if you dont have a CDRW drive then you will have to use a floppy Disk but if the files are bigger than 1.4MB you cant, or you could take out your friends hard drive and put it into your computer then just transfer the file onto your hard drive.
Hope this helps
Phil

Or with todays mordern technology, grab yourself a USB Hard disk.
Basically, it's a little USB device that goes on a keyring. It can hold data in the usual memory amounts:
32mb, 64mb, 128mb, etc.
Prices vary but are available from most good computer shops.

Yeah, this is probably the best way to go, since USB is plug & play. (and assuming the files are small enough)
BTW, here in US, they are mostly called 'USB Pen Drives'
@ pso freak: kind of like this

Are trying over the internet or hard disks? If you are trying to get files from his computer w/o him there, you can get WSftp, program for networking. If he is there, simply use AIM, because that allows fast rates of transfer. For anything over 700mb, the best option is swapping hard drives.

As said M8 .. get yourself set up with an FTP prog .. SmartFTP is an easy one to use .. then get your mate to set up an FTP Server on his comp ( such as BulletproofFTP Server ) then once he has set it up and given you access .. you can download untill your heart is content :D :D

just let your friend setup a host and take his IP and start downloading
