Seeing this meme today sent me on a weird trip. Middle and high school was all about Limewire and I can’t believe I almost completely forgot about it.
Meme stolen from a dump by @audryhannaka who no doubt stole it from somewhere else but that’s what we do here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FP edit: my ex introduced me to Imgur, and later broke my heart. All I ever wanted was to make it to the Front Page before he did. Thanks guys :’)

I remember trying to download '10 years' (band) and naively downloading what looked like music video clips (circa 2004 age 13). :|
LumpDaddy
Yes, I totally used this download music.....yeessss muusicccc
Visiblur
Don't worry, we still get viruses when we download our 10 GB worth of porn or when we try to download a game that's not even out yet

Limewire became Lemon Party. Google it.
jongo35
First thing I ever downloaded from LimeWire was LimeWire Pro. Haha.
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
Oh heather..... heather heather heather
PiGiSpi
My favorite was looking up final fantasy songs and getting tons of FF porn
warmNchewey
Did anybody download porn videos but couldn't wait so you jerked off to the preview of what was already downloaded?
oolayoo
Puffmax
Riiiiiiight...uhhh music
JesusMaximus
DC++, eDonkey / eMule, Morpheus, IRC
ButtNom
Well, pirating over IRC is very, VERY much alive though ...
yuraku87
Does anyone remember WinMX ???
ButtNom
And eDonkey.
DarthVedavyas
made quite a few friends on it
Omelettedufromage83
Isnt that the music player?
eskaldra
Hell yeah, that's where I got all the EPs and hard-to-find shit
jjm152
I stopped using limewire after I saw people were putting CP on it and naming it innocent stuff. I'd rather not get v& thank you.
KenGiffeyJr
Don't forget about Napster and Kazaa
RhymingEverything
I had napster on dial-up, those were the days! I was happy to get 35k/s
DragonDildoChandelier
NAPSTER BAD!
KenGiffeyJr
Yeah inspired a whole South Park episode.
WarNeverChanges2077
And Frostwire.
RyanStanford5772
I watched frost wire bogey busted and had to start using limewire
PokingSmot
Don't download 800kb "songs" lol.
Terminology
What do you mean, of course this 150kb song "backstreetboys.exe" is legit
heislegend
Does anyone remember bearshare? I promise it's not what it sounds like
eebogur
One of the many Gnutella-based clients, right?
thevirus84
Bearshare was gnutella yes. I think Kazaa used it to. Or could connect to it atleast.
JMaxGarage
Hell yeah. Right after Napster got shutdown BearShare was the only one before LimeWire and Kazaa.
c1328chase
Yes. Used Kazaa and Limewire more though. Then uTorrent
ProjectM1L3S
Hit me with that nostalgia. I used to burn PS1 games with Bearshare.
CIarkKent
I recall Bearshare, Ares, Kazaa and Kazaa Lite, and Limewire. All of them plagued my PC with viruses. oh to be young again
MulleH
Yup, went from winmx to bearshare.
Qpillowcase
Beemp3
c1328chase
I'm with you on that one. It was probably the best
gingerladybug
I once spent 15hours downloading Finding Nemo. Forgot I downloaded it cuz it took so damn long. Parents got a call on the landline 1/?
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
Wow they ACTUALLY cared that much about a movie that was making assloads of cash anyway?
gingerladybug
one day from our dial-up provider, saying the FBI contacted them, instructed them to turn off our internet. Wouldn’t turn back on until 2/?
gingerladybug
they saw we had uninstalled Limewire. Needless to say, I was grounded from the computer for quite a while. No SIMS, no MSN Messenger 3/?
gingerladybug
no MySpace! It was horrible. Ahh, bitter nostalgia.
BestUsernameICouldThinkOf
If it's less than 3 MBs, it's probably not a song.
imaginaryupvote
and don't d/l movies less than 650 MBs
bilborrax
"i was downloading an mp3 but it ended with exe instead and wont play when i click it and now the computer is slow." -every little sibling
RyanStanford5772
TRUE AF ^
shhep
Bitch, with speeds I had, 1-2 MB songs were standard for me. I found my old mp3 player and boy, they sound like potato.
MerToo
haha yeah the number of "song files" that were the exact length of well-known trojans...
SubtleSuggestions
"I did not have sexual relations..." Always checked the MBs!!
MisterLemons
MAH FELLOW AHMERICAANS...
RepublicofTexa
But I did use Ifreeclubdotcom
Bubsay
???????? This is so accurate
ltsDizzyD
Are you sure?
thisisakeevo
Yes. It's either a fake or the song was so compressed that it sucked. Never trust a song below 3MB.
ltsDizzyD
SirDistic
Kazaa too. Downloaded so many video games, porn and movies along with ALL the viruses. Like all of them.
docsbeenfakeplayingforanhour
Morpheus is where I got my start
pc4pc
Anyone remember Ares?
SirDistic
Yep. That was my last one.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
soulseek
zephyrbell
Yesssss.
maniacalmacaroni
Pretty sure I still have those viruses on a USB drive somewhere, they're just dormant, like Herpes.
MostlyJeffGoldblum
Windows has Defender antivirus built in now days. It might not even do much plugged into a modern pc.
ManOfCulture
Burn that usb... it would probably make for a great post
JaimeLannistersRightHand
I tried downloading Star wars... Ended up with black dudes orally pleasuring eachother... I wanted Obi-wan Kenobi, not Obi-wan Keblowme
JaimeLannistersRightHand
I was 12 at the time...
lazerschlong
Don’t sleep on my main dudes Bearshare and WinMX.
Lurkenstine
Ahh WinMX...the thrill of waiting 30 hrs to download a mysterious, 'hope this one is any good", porn. 25hrs later, corrupted file!
Emjayen
Indeed.
johnsza
A lot of horse stuff on there... I'm not sure Animals can consent.... I haven't thought about it much though... *concern*
firesword14
rapgoddoge
Can you upload on mega?
Scootchy
"George Carlin Collection"
meteox
"Comedy"
mendrak
I never got any viruses but most of the time I would want to download something it was another video renamed.
BahamutBBob
That's how I watched Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. Don't remember what I was trying to get, but I wasn't even mad.
dejavutoyoutoo
Or you finish downloading the song and press play only to hear, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
Why was that so prevalent?
ackblom12
Back in the day of "Am I downloading what I'm trying to download, or is it surprise bestiality/child porn."
DigitalPup
For me it was "is this actually dragon ball z episode 200, or is it that sailor moon dragon ball porn again?"
Thor561
The best part of this comment is the “again”. As in, it happened more than once.
DigitalPup
Happened at least 3 different times.
ackblom12
This shit happened so many times for all of us
