    just had a chat about this earlier. i remember downloading a micky j album and it took 4 days, when it downloaded it was shocking quality

    can you remember it, it was like a lottery to what would be downloaded.

    I remember when people used to actually call him by his real name as opposed to looking like a twat online!!!

    Yup, setting albums to download overnight and hoping they'd be done by morning.

    Getaway with your limewires and your napsters.

    Always has been. Always will be.

    Audiogalaxy was the best especially for rare songs :) Somehow the RIAA left that service last on it's list of targets, twas strange in the battle between the RIAA and the P2P's. Then torrents came after all that..

    And April in Paris.
    the Germans wore grey and you wore blue.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    But it's breakfast time back home.

    These were the times where it was common during one's late teens to suddenly stop and freeze mid coitus.

    What are you doing she would say?

    Buffering kids, buffering. You will never know our pain.

    Limewire was like a 40 yr old Brooklyn hooker in the mid 80s who didn’t insist on condoms.

    It was literally riddled with severe viruses. It busted my pc so violently once that the RUC came to the door and asked if we had been nail bombed.

    Audiogalaxy was great, a weird client but always reliable.

    Downloading Limewire Pro with Limewire free


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    These fuckers as well as Kazaa, Bearshare and the like are the reason for YouTube videos with titles like this.

    I'll go one better.
    A guy I knew in the states during the 90s circumvented a porn sites security and gained access to their FTP server.
    For about 3 years into the early 2000s we had access to about 30GB of online space where we shared files, until the site went offline.

    Used to love limewire. Was the only place I could find WWE Theme Music back in the day. Used to practically live in an internet cafe downloading everything in sight.

    Limewire was pretty much a clone of Morpheus given the near identical interface. Similarly, the layout for Bebo was lifted directly from MySpace.
