And sometimes things you really really didn't want.
"Turbo-Charged Connection"
252kbit/s
I once downloaded a 650MB movie in less than 10 minutes. I dont know how that was possible at the time as I had a sub 1 mbit line. I just know I went to the bathroom and came back to a downloaded movie. Always figured it was a bug of some kind on the modem as apparently the cable modem was doing the rate limiting.
My PC got AIDS once from Limewire Lite, true story.
EDIT : it was Kazaa had a lite version, not Limewire. Good days lol.
Step 1. Download Kazaa Lite Step 2. Use Kazaa Lite to download Kazaa Step 3. Profit
the high seas have grown more treacherous, but you still can.
More treacherous than LimeWire was? I think the fuck not, that boi was filled with Justin_Bieber_Baby.mp3.exe’s
In what way?
many governments will snitch on you if they find you doing it. some countries need a vpn to hide yourself now. and some other smaller bullshit.
Hey does anyone remember searching for the movie XXX with Vin Diesel? What a fun time...
Fake system of a down - link song was golden.
Link - he come to town He come to save - the princess Zelda
Download Worms.exe
I just wanted to play worms
Liero was an amazing contender
Duuuude. I just decided to look this up on chatgpt. I had no idea that was NOT system of a down. Sounds exactly like serj lol. I used to crank that shit. Be sure link. He come to town. Come to save! The princess Zelda!
please don't "Look things up" on chatgpt, use an actual search engine..
Lol, like google?
But I agree, chatgpt is not a search engine. It's a waste of time using it as one

Define free? Constant viruses, trauma from seeing killings and executions. Was it worth it? Sure but it wasn’t free
Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Learning to torrent is what greatly increased my computer literacy when I was a kid.

It was FREE.
But at what cost?
EVERYTHING!
I did download a car
Among many other misattributed MP3s I downloaded off LimeWire, I remember downloading an mp3 of a "new leaked Nine Inch Nails song" called "Digital" that even had an intro read by a some DJ on a radio station (supposedly).
It ended up not being Nine Inch Nails, but I loved the song anyway, and had no idea what it was until a decade later when I found it again online. Still fuckin rocks too:
Boom Boom Satellites - Push Eject
I also remember a Tetris Theme remix by Aphex Twin that was very much not Aphex Twin.
I also remember downloading the Aphex Twin remix of Beck's "Devil's Haircut"and the remix was so bad I thought it had to be fake (it's not).

Misattribution killed Limewire. Downloading a song that turned out to be something different was annoying, but downloaded porn sometimes turned out to be actual CP.
Still can brother 🏴☠️
For those wondering check out Soulseek clients like Nicotine+. Even better, these days most of the files are well tagged.
Set to search only file sizes of >320 and revel in limitless FLACs.
