It's standard practice to split the image into ~94 rar volumes of 50MB each. Although Win98 users would be able to download the volumes, they would still need a NTFS partition to extract the image to!

Here's a better idea: encode the file to a 700MB DivX and share it on Kazaa. That way, all those people running an outdated OS would still be able to download and watch these rips!
