This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...

Limewire? How about DC++ and eMule?

Napster, Kazaa and Morpheus to add a few names to the hat.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah, I forget about Kazaa and Kazaa Lite.

Bearshare gang, represent!

Living the golden age. Fuck yeah. Kazaa was the life. Personally I was a heavy eMule user.

I still feel the pain of downloading something and the connection breaking at 90% because the other person logged off. There also wasn't any way to resume.

Yep, Napster was the first I remember. It got sued too, by Lars Ulrich of Metallica. I also remember Limp Bizkit and some others doing a Napster tour to give a middle finger to the artists making a big deal about piracy.

Soulseek is still going believe it or not. Fantastic service.

Even worse: how about M.U.L.E.?

Love it, except when my M.U.L.E. goes haywire.
