What was your favorite P2P program back in the day?

Napster? Kazaa? Limewire? WinMX? BitTorrent?
Now you can stream everything but back in the day I remember discovering so many new bands using these. I never got into Napster for some reason but I did use Kazaa and Limewire
When BitTorrent came about that was a game changer though for sure. Once you got an invite to a legit site (thePirateBay had too many fake file and Trojans etc) I could find anything and more, opened my eyes and ears to so many bands I hadn’t heard about but fell in love with. If y’all did Torrents what site did you use? I always went to both IndieTorrents (probably my favorite for a while) and Oinks Pink Palace (this one eventually turned out to be the best). I used µTorrent to download with although I’m sure there are other better ones

I have a feeling pirating is going to come back with all of the different streaming services and pricing going up. Not many people can afford to pay for 4 or 5 services if there is something on each they are interested in.

Everything after Napster was inferior

Yep I’ve definitely had to format the computer and reinstall windows a few times, not sure which it came off of. I think it was from trying to download either a program or porn though, not mp3’s.

That's a thing I haven't heard in a long fricking time. It was around for like 3 days

WinMX and Kazaa were my favorites from the OG P2P era
After that moved to IRC DCC bots
Suprnova and early Pirate Bay were awesome
I miss Oink's Pink Palace.
I gave up music torrent sites when legit streaming became so cheap and easy and I let my membership on Not What lapse
I kinda want it back though, I don't even know what the best private music trackers are anymore

Classic mislabeled P2P file!
However, probably not as egregious as Bob Marley - Red, Red Wine.

not sure you understand what OG means... Kazaa was later in the revolution.

When Napster was hot I used to download rap songs, cut off the last 3/4 of the song and then record my 13 year old arse screaming "REMIX!!!" and singing the rest of the track a capella in my dad's office.
Would die laughing as people spent 25 minutes getting 50% into the download then cut it off.
