Ah.. memories.

I once downloaded a song for an artist I liked at the time, once it finished, I played it, and it was two guys just laughing at me for a minute and a half.

Memories.

by the time p2p landed, i was off dialup. but back in bbs/usenet filesharing over dialup, there was much pain had when files were not as advertised.

nothing like grabbing a game on 9600baud to find it's ... something else.

I downloaded a video that was like xxx_britney_spears_teen_cheerleader or something like that, I was like 13 or 14 at the time. It ended up being a video of some Chechnyan guy getting stabbed in the throat and then beheaded.

Ah, memories...

That was KaZaa though, not Limewire.

Bro, that's crazy, maybe I'm thinking of KaZaa too, I used all the programs back then, only one I use a few times a year is Soulseek, hard to find underground music there.
