Some of us remember a time before limewire... <_<
Oliwuff
Downloaded a hot new eminem track - Got porn, Downloaded tomb raider 2 - Got porn, Downloaded porn - Didn't get porn!
dunewarrior
Kazaa, usenet and DC++. I miss those days... sometimes.
MarkRavingMad
Limewire is the reason I thought lynyrd skynyrd wrote "Black Betty" until I was like 21.
rovertbiggs
And every punk cover was by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, even if it wasn’t.
LupusLilium
I think I honestly still have a song or two from those days. It's like, 'yeah it -might- be who the band is listed as, it -might- not be?'.
languidcat
I did not have sexual intercourse with that woman.
ConsistentlyLateCommenter
I did, however, go to efreeclub.com
shapeofthingstocome
Soulseek anyone?!!
NordicusMaximus
Everyday. FLAC files galore.
adeathlesssong
So many viruses.
IJustWantToPlayLeagueOfLegends
so worth it though. only having to wait 4 hours to download a single song on dial up...
RozzAMcGee
Then transferring it via 3 floppy disks and zip split archive
Sommwineplease
I'm only now realizing the limewire logo was a fucking lime
NordicusMaximus
...
JudgementalChair
I like to equate it to the Wild West of the internet. Fun times were had, but you were most likely going to catch something
BearPerson
In both cases, it took some skill and dedication to catch horses, though.
CleverHeather
All the viruses and porn - in the comment section. I'm just glad we're talking about our comps, rather than our cocks. Our own AIDS crisis.
johnsaysthings
Best gas station.
jappie348
Limetorrents is a successor. Its decent
cpm80
The death of an era
greatgobsoferoticfrogs

The Wire
Polaristars
Don't forget about FrostWire too.
Davies46
My fellow Americans ,i would once again like to say i did not have sexual relations with that woman, i did however go to ifreecl. . . .
medsal15
Shit, I'm too young to get it and had to look it up.
rovertbiggs
PhilKenSebban
Every night a new movie, every morning a new virus scan. The days a old limey.
fitlex
Shit, your internet was fast enough to download a movie back in LimeWire days?
PhilKenSebban
Your right. Fuck I forgot about the good old dial up days. When you pick up the phone and have high pitch squeals come through.
Rossovich
I miss Morpheus.
80mtn
Morpheus was my go-to also.
Rossovich
#Hackerman.
shapeofthingstocome
Me too! Ever use soul seek?
Rossovich
I... no... should I have? What is it? TO GOOGLE!
shapeofthingstocome
It was great for weird sub genres of music
Rossovich
Neat. I wasn't really into any weird sub genres back then (pretty basic), but now that would be interesting.
followmeiknowtheway
Literally.
Hearingwildshit
What is dead may never die
MrPajamaSam
Did no one ever have Bearshare?
Bamboobob
Yeah but it was shit compared to lime wire
SweetRage
Of course we did...and napster too
ZombieLoveX
and morpheus
VoidofStatic
I just aged thirty years from reading all the dead shareware I used to use..
LeftHandPanda
I never used Limewire. Napster and Audiogalaxy were my go to sites
CrimeThinker
From Napster to BitTorrent here.
TheGrubermeister
Popularsongmp3.exe is only 43kb! It's gonna download in no time!

{10 hours later}
Foopfoop
The best was searching for resume.doc You really learned a lot about people.
Rapturr
Limewire, frostwire, bearshare, KaZaa, Napster. I feel like I'm missing another big one.
dankorsore
Audio galaxy
NordicusMaximus
KaZaa was the WORST
SomeonesPCbutNotBills
It was literally the meth of shareware. Limewire was the cocaine
ThatIsMyPassword
WarezP2P seemed fairly large at the time.
IUpvoteLOTRMemes
Dont forget Morpheus
dunewarrior

CrustyMuffin

rshini
Shareheraza or something like it
shapeofthingstocome
Anyone use soul seek?
cousteau
I did until I switched to Nicotine (Soulseek for Linux)
NordicusMaximus
Still use it daily.
shapeofthingstocome
Really? Still just as good as before?
NordicusMaximus
I think it’s even better. More streamlined and less bullshit.
shapeofthingstocome
Thank you kind stranger
mocosoft
Lime Wire founder on copyright law: 'I was wrong'.
shapeofthingstocome
"Mea culpa guys"
z3lfmoord
FYI limewire was funded by large corporations to push their copyright agenda. It gave them a prime example to target.
ILikeQuiteHeavyMetal
Serious??.. if so could you give any links?

That was a cross between interesting and amusing

VodkaReindeer
It is unlikely to be true as there would have been plenty of natural targets.
Uberdude100
Let's not forget about FrostWire either. Preteen me thought it was safer for some reason
MostlyJeffGoldblum
Frostwire user here. I use it as a torrent app. Haven't really had any issues.
tonksl
Never heard of it
Uberdude100
It was essentially the same thing, but with a different color scheme lol.
Apocallama
When Limewire got taken down, the dude who made it was like "Limewire was wrong. Try Frostwire instead"
GodsGoodGraceShedUntoThee
Came out a few years later. Same thing, different name.
thegrimcoder
So much porn... so... so... so much porn
ezzmann

YourBossAndLandlordLikePolitics

dirrrtypiratehookerrr

DjNeHi

NotPapaEmeritus
TIL half of Imgur discovered porn because of Limewire
10mm404
I discovered porn because in 1996 my school didn't have website blocking software, and I typed a URL for what I thought was a SFW website.
whatupmyknitters
wait you could get porn on it?!
dirrrtypiratehookerrr
So much porn
TabletsForPorn
You could get porn that you shouldn't even legally or morally have, on accident, I don't miss the dark days of lime/frost wire
PickIeRick
Heather. Brooke.
BoyAndHisMoose
Is she she one in the billiard table video?
gsaberrealisticcombat
That "homemade" lesbian orgy carried me through puberty.
TingeltangelTom
The one where this asian girl goes nuts towards the end?
gsaberrealisticcombat
The one where the girl makes an Austin powers reference while getting eaten out
NotRightNeverWrong
RobertLSU
even if you didn't want porn you got porn
herpesfreesince93
The gift that kept on giving
MrAppendixX
My brother downloaded a video from R. Kelly, it was porn. We kinda wondered why R. Kelly changed his sex and color
halfswing
This. I just wanted fansubbed dbz dammit.

Human heads in places they don’t belong. Well aren’t supposed to be after birth.
