A system and method to reduce the time to transfer files from one computer to another over a communications network, such as the Internet, by avoiding the synchronous timing limitations of current transfer methods. A file that is intended to be transferred from a transmitting computer to a receiving computer is partitioned into multiple synchronous block portions of the existing file, prior to transfer. Each bloc subportion of original file is compressed and queued for transmission to a targe receiving computer. The compressed blocks are kept in a cue, encrypted, an transmitted asynchronously to a target receiving computer over a selecte communications network. Upon receipt at the receiving computer of any of th transmitted blocks, blocks are decrypted, decompressed, and asynchronousl reconstructed into the original file. Since the transmission of blocks to the receivin computer occurs asynchronously, as well as the transmission preparation steps, overal transmission times are improved.
