I remember like 11 years ago, my friend tried to download the first Iron Man movie from Limewire. It took like 6 hours to download, and when it finally finished, it ended up being ONE Family Guy episode that was slowed down a ton
yeah having to deal with siblings hogging the internet downloading kdrama or anime isn't that fun. p2p is cancer with slow internet.
My brother used Limewire a lot which resulted in a buttload of viruses on our family computer which of course I got blamed for because video games are bad or something.

oh man I straight up downloaded limewire pro with limewire too
The first song I ever downloaded on Limewire was 'I'm Blue', because I could. I don't know why though really, it was the only thing that came to mind at the time.
I know companies can be crazy with lawsuits but riaa tried suing for 72 trillion dollars???? that's like 8 credit cards
A few years ago @mcgrath618 and I got a bunch of old iBook G3's from a local school. On a teacher's laptop we found tons of random LimeWire crap. It was like walking through a door to a better time. A time with shittier viruses and fake music all around.
when i was less than 10 years of old, i wasnt hittin hard on the music scene much, no - thatd be my older siblings. so when i got on limewire at the time, i wasnt looking for music, i was looking for that funny ass content. i needed those funny_videos.exes to get through grade school, and its wild how the equivalent today would be rolling through the clickbaity youtube videos that are so rampant nowadays
You an me both.
Every once in a while when I downloaded songs from Limewire, it would be just a recording of Bill Clinton saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." over and over again.
People still used Limewire in 2008?!
Never used any of the mentioned ones but BearShare was popular here and my young ass used that a good amount of times. Surprised I never got caught from that because it was and still is very popular for companies to go after P2P people since they can charge them extra for distribution as well.
I was just thinking this morning it’s been a while since he uploaded a video. perfect timing
I used Bearshare as well, I remember trying to download Vice City from one of them and getting a ripped copy of some terrible WWF game. Kazaa, eMule and all that, you kids don't know how lucky you are right now, with your torrents and superfast CDN like MEGA.
I used Limewire up until it got shut down and I regret nothing everything
I remember using Emule/edonkey to download games. With a max speed of about 20-40ko/s it would take multiple days/nights to download a game. I would wake up early the last day to play with my game, just to found that my father closed the PC in the evening...
downloading episodes of south park and them just ending up being renamed porn nostalgic
I once downloaded an episode of Mind of Mencia (I was like 10 give me a break.) And the first 20 minutes of it was the legit episode, but halfway through was a fucking screamer that knocked me out of my seat. Got me fucking good.
I remember my dad being the one to introduce me to limewire when I was like 7 and told me he could download me any song ever, so naturally I burned like 300 random songs to a bunch of CDs and tried to sell them to the other kids in my neighborhood. I also tried selling AOL free trial CDs to kids in my school and yelling out like a carnival barker "Who here would like to buy THE INTERNET? Only five dollars!" None of these business plans worked out that well.
funfact: eMule is still alive to this day. Here we had zMule that worked off one ISP's FTP server. Also pirating music with a guaranteed good audio quality is possible today, it only involves two programs *redacted* and *redacted*
I still use SoulSeek to this day. Pretty good for finding music.. specially underground electronic stuff...
SoulSeek is still god tier for finding any type of music, shows/movies, books, etc. Especially the niche stuff.
In spanish-speaking countries we had Ares Galaxy.
I tried to download Half-Life through limewire when I was in high school. It ended up being like a 60mb file that I couldn't figure out what to do with and just never bothered to use limewire again
was waiting for him to mention my homegirl Ares https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109833/a04a0684-8d10-47ab-9795-3c2cc873790a/image.png
I remember trying to download fifa just to find Swedish porn instead. Even at 10 years old I knew that it wasn't even the good stuff.
soulseek is the one for hard to find electronic releases and white labels. shame there are so many gatekeepers on it though.
We had a similar problem when my friend downloaded a finnish movie called "Leijat Helsingin Yllä" and it took him FOREVER only to find out it was just some guy farting for two hours in Helsinki. For context, "Leijat" means "Kites" but it's also slang for "Farts" so "Leijat Helsingin yllä" translates to "Kites/Farts over Helsinki" or such.
