Dial-up was really something. I used to try and watch Naruto episodes on YouTube that way. Would take an hour to load 5 minutes of the episode. Kids today don’t know the struggle 😂

I remember downloading the original X-Men movie on Kazaa. It took a full week to download.

One day, it was at 99% before going to school..I was super excited, knowing I could finally watch the movie when I got back home.

When I pressed play, it was a goddamn 2hr long gay threesome video 😂🤣

Kids don't know the struggle

That’s actually cursed lmaoooo that was og internet trolling.

lol!! I was deep in p2p myself but wow would that have pissed me off. I had all the school computers as nodes for p2p and doing Folding@Home.

i got hooked on a some game that was on a BBS in Hong Kong.

phone bill was legit several hundred dollars.

Oh man I remember downloading a VCD of the matrix from gnutella, 2000ish. It was like seeing the future 👀

WinMX was the p2p client of choice as I recall.

thats where I got all the good stuff.

I only used limewire and literally gave the family computer aids

Gnutella was awesome after Napster got sued

They also won't appreciate the stride and how quickly technology changes

That’s true. They’re more entitled.

I mean give them some credit. They gave reason to have high expectations. They know what's possible
