kazaa, emule
but honestly, I don't think I use torrents for tv shows/movies back in the day, it was mostly shared through sites like megaupload/mediafire of the day, although I don't really remember the name.
I just started using torrents heavily around 2010.
life was tough back in the early 2000s >family computer >56kb/s modem that ties up the phone while you're on it >makes an incredibly loud noise for a minute while you connect to the internet (does not come through the speakers so you can't turn it off) >try to set up a pillow fort around the computer to dampen the sound so your parents won't hear it at night and know you're trying to get online >takes an hour to download some 360p 3 minute clip >hard drive is so small you can't keep the video on the computer without someone noticing >flash drives don't exist >burn shit to CDs instead >you're computer illiterate so you end up downloading a virus like once a month
ye he knew, we were on it more than him. i am unsure whether he bought our lies as to how we kept infecting it, we were mostly trying to play or download porn stuff. we even had a porn virus once, in which porn pics would pop up in new tabs until the computer would lock up
I bricked about 3 HP computers back in 2001 or so mostly from Kaaza if I remember, possibly Limewire as well. They just kept sending me new ones after they went dead.

t-thanks, family
I had a dreamcast and could browse throught that, got keyboard and mouse used for it
I remember I had a Sony flat screen 21" crt like pic related, the setup was kino in hindsight
I downloaded so much shit off limewire and Kazaa but amazingly never downloaded cheese pizza. Seeing everyone else say how easily the accidentally downloaded it makes me wonder how I missed all of it.
Yeah MetArt sites looked like they used 15 year old models back in the day. Of course that was excused by Ukrainian girls who don't eat of course they look younger.
>softcore >00s
No I'm talking about the stuff from way back from like Denmark and the Netherlands.
Seventeen magazine based in Denmark used to be called Sixteen in the 70's 80's and yes they used girls those ages for the porn. If you're Danish it's a good chance your mom was a Seventeen girl just saying.
probably the CC stuff with underage boys and girls. Movies and magazines with kids were legal in Danmark and the Netherlands untill late 80's mid 90's.
US lawmakers made a law saying that sites were now responsible for all porn on their websites. consequently there was an insane level purge of all porn from pornhub/tumblr etc. it's also why all the unverified amateurs on there got pushed to onlyfans/patreon
There was some fuss about CP being on Pornhub et al because it allowed user uploaded videos which were impossible to police given the sheer volume and anonymity of accounts.
In order to avoid legal liability they gave up and just purged everything except content uploaded by verified accounts, which was like 90% of the videos on the site.
I get going to tumblr for porn before the purge, but PornHub anons? Really? For me it was motherless, twitter still has everything you can imagine but then you'd have to use twitter.

Yes, I remember downloading GTA 3 from Kazaa and getting a virus. Then, eventually I emerged from the darkness into the cave, into the promised DDL lands of RapidShare and MegaUpload...
>you used a P2P file transfer service?!?!?!
So? The same people torrent now which is more or less the same thing. If you use one of the shitty public trackers and a torrent client with built in search functionality it's literally the same experience.

comet's the only type of furry art i've ever been able to get off too. more like getting off to aliens than furries, since they're drawn somewhat realistically instead of that creepy cartoony shit like sonic porn.

I remember alot of people were downloading music videos instead of the songs they liked back then.
Like they had the songs but not the videos for them.

Considering I've been watching pizza with this shit back when I was 12, its no big surprise I ended up the way I am. Kinda crazy that this software was borderline mainstream at some point. The 2000s were a wild time.
Yeah 90s and 00s internet was crazy. First AOL with the chat rooms then yahoo came along with Webcam and shit just became the wild west. I can't tell you the crazy shit that went on with cams back then.
The funniest and most disturbing thing was that I was around 13 when LimeWire was at its peak and I was almost exclusively searching for >13 year old sex >teenage porn >12 year girl
and so on. I didn’t think much of it at the time and I can’t be the only one.
Not once did I actually find porn of girls my age but I stopped with filesharing and the internet altogether after one of the vids was some disgusting toddler thing and I realized I might be in some serious trouble for what I’ve been doing.

Damn that one was really awful, super slow and full of misleading content/ viruses.
emule was one of the first protocols that broke a file in different pieces. You could start tackling downloading movies with that

thank frick my parents were computer illiterate
I had a USB drive for my porn.
Hid it in a shoe box.
Good times.

Was probably on a computer the whole family used and didnt want anyone to find them
Or just didnt have room to spare on the old hardrive

those times fricking sucked.
kek me and my brothers kept infecting our dad’s PC, he had to send it for repair like 10 times. god kids suck
Did he know it was you guys or just write it off as the PC acting up?
ye he knew, we were on it more than him. i am unsure whether he bought our lies as to how we kept infecting it, we were mostly trying to play or download porn stuff. we even had a porn virus once, in which porn pics would pop up in new tabs until the computer would lock up
I bricked about 3 HP computers back in 2001 or so mostly from Kaaza if I remember, possibly Limewire as well. They just kept sending me new ones after they went dead.
kek, the golden age of virus. im glad its over, now its mostly Chrome push notif ads and the occasional encryptors

How could we not all be perverts considering the television and film content available on Limewire?
I downloaded so much shit off limewire and Kazaa but amazingly never downloaded cheese pizza. Seeing everyone else say how easily the accidentally downloaded it makes me wonder how I missed all of it.
The best stuff was the classic stuff from Europe that was actually legal way back then.
what did he mean by this
softcore stuff was still legal in eastern europe well into the 00s. even mainsteam producers like met art started with dodgy models
>softcore
>00s
No I'm talking about the stuff from way back from like Denmark and the Netherlands.
Yeah MetArt sites looked like they used 15 year old models back in the day. Of course that was excused by Ukrainian girls who don't eat of course they look younger.

probably the CC stuff with underage boys and girls. Movies and magazines with kids were legal in Danmark and the Netherlands untill late 80's mid 90's.
They are more than likely lying. You had to look for them to find it and know what key words to search. Why they would lie? morons.
>y never downloaded cheese pizza. Seeing everyone else say how easily the accidentally downloaded it makes me wonder how I missed all of it
I miss so much good porn from LW and Kazaa. Is it really all lost to time?
After the Great Porn Purge in 2019? You can forget about it.
Give me a quick rundown please.

>but PornHub anons? Really?
Porn Hub had hundreds of fan made compilations and edits going for it I seem to remember
They were all purged
motherless still has some stuff even if it's far from what it was during the glorious era, but that site is absolutely terrible to navigate
>motherless
that got purged way before the tumblr and pornhub purge
There was some fuss about CP being on Pornhub et al because it allowed user uploaded videos which were impossible to police given the sheer volume and anonymity of accounts.

> there are old computers sitting in thrift stores, landfills and recycling centers with harddrives full of porn from those days
Dont ever pass on an old computer.

Morpheus was the first one I used, then Kazaa for a bit, then Limewire and Frostwire made by the freetards

wow that's terrible i can't believe i found that funny at some point
It was pretty funny at the time.
It was a different time. We were starving for entertainment on the web so any memes back then seemed funnier.
proto-memes were shit but it's all we had
Mikey was classic.
Wasn't that just a Newgrounds thing?
>ever being stupid enough to use limewire
Youll cowards wont even use limewire.
>you used a P2P file transfer service?!?!?!
So? The same people torrent now which is more or less the same thing. If you use one of the shitty public trackers and a torrent client with built in search functionality it's literally the same experience.
I know, right? All the cool kids used Frostwire.

comet's the only type of furry art i've ever been able to get off too. more like getting off to aliens than furries, since they're drawn somewhat realistically instead of that creepy cartoony shit like sonic porn.
I remember downloading a macpaint image from bearshare for the first time, and sure enough it was fricking gay porn. Mac Users in a nutshell.
