I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
3 minutes… lol
I remember a long time back, I wanted to download a game on the internet. The game, was street legal racing.
350MB or so.
It took me almost two weeks to download that damn thing. Internet disconnects would completely restart it… I don’t miss those days.
Aaaah, those were the days. Not good ones, but days for sure. Remember before download resuming was a thing?
I don’t wanna remember. It was horrible…
heh I remember downloaded a shareware version of Tyrian2000 from a dodgy ftp site, took a few hours. worth it though
I used download helpers that restarted from the failure point up to… 2012 I think. At the end I was rolling my own because nobody distributed it anymore, but restarting a download from the beginning is just horrible.
I think I used rocket Downloader or something along those lines… after it failed twice.
Early 2000s
