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.
xdcc msg MoViEgOdz! get pack #128 *starts downloading hardcore goat sex*
"Ah shit, I meant 127” xdcc msg MoViEgOdz! cancel 128 *goat sex downloads even faster*
“…well, at least it’ll be educational”
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…
By that point there were other options that were more popular, yeah. Xdcc as a script for ircii came out around 1995ish, maybe a bit earlier. Early 2000s would be around when mirc scripts had xdcc bots built in, so well after they first became common.
At that point you also had Napster, kazaa, limewire, even the first bittorrent client (BitTorrent).
my favorite was the Madonna song that was just Madonna saying “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” over and over again for three minutes, and then someone made a dance remix of it and uploaded it again
They’ll never know the magic (read: virus minefield) that was WinMX, Kazaa, Limewire, etc.

Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
Grab list, found what you wanted… As 49 separate downloads, on one busy bot.
While on dialup.
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.

I’ve never heard of this before. I was on IRC in the oughts, probably a bit late to see it happening. Neat.

Just do it now. Only like 8 other people are using DCC, so it’s obfuscation in itself
Ah limewhire where you went to download ripped halo 3 roms and ended up with a few GB of amature porn
my favorite was the Madonna song that was just Madonna saying “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” over and over again for three minutes, and then someone made a dance remix of it and uploaded it again
Ah, and there I was, trying to download horse porn and ending up with Halo 3 😅
Soulseek was the best
Is.* Nicotine+ is the client to make it even better.
*is
I was born after 2000, and use soulseek to this day.
I reinstalled Windows like every other week 😅
Can I finger your plastron?
