They'll never know the magic (read: virus minefield) that was WinMX, Kazaa, Limewire, etc.

Or the even worse era of trolling IRC chats looking for DCC bots and hoping your feeble attempts at security or obfuscation will hold. Ah, the good ol days.

[โ€“] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 10 hours ago

Just do it now. Only like 8 other people are using DCC, so it's obfuscation in itself

Grab list, found what you wanted... As 49 separate downloads, on one busy bot.

While on dialup.

[โ€“] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Admittedly, the small file chunks made sense on dialup, but man did it suck when you'd end up with 102 of 110 files and then they'd vanish.

[โ€“] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 7 hours ago

Oh definitely, but wow did it suck when they went offline.... You just keep those parts around unless you can find another bot to start and complete a whole other download of different sized split rars...
