A system is disclosed having at least one computing device configured to send a computer file across a network by segmenting the computer file into identifiable segments and sending the segments in parallel across the network. The segmenting can be initiated while the computer file is generated. In another embodiment, a computer program product is disclosed having program code stored on a computer-readable storage medium, which when executed by at least one computing device, causes the computing device to transfer a computer file across a computer network by segmenting the computer file into identifiable segments and sending the segments in parallel across the network. The segmenting can be initiated while the computer file is generated. In another embodiment, a method of transferring a computer file across a network is disclosed, the method including segmenting the computer file into identifiable segments and sending the segments in parallel across the network.
