Ther are a few things you can try...first thing to remember is that LHA is the big
format in Amiga Land or DMS(but don't worry about that). But there is also a copy of 
amigazip floating around on Aminet.

Another option is to use either a parallel or serial connection there are many such 
packages such as sernet,parnet,pc to amiga (I use this it is good, 20kb/s).
If you want to have a chat about stuff like this drop me a line via email.
