    Going offline is my weekend activity. Time to pile up the firewood for winter.

  Although it sucked so much if you were downloading something like a large (for the time) game and had call waiting or someone picked up a phone in another part of the house. 3 hours down the drain.

    Download Managers were a god send for that reason.

      Definitely, but there was a time before them. A dark and evil time when your world could be destroyed by a guy calling to sell gutter cleaning services.

        Or your mam deciding to call her sister for 3 hours even though she just saw her.

        I had one, I forget its name, but it was a firewall AND download manager. Bizarre combo if you ask me but it was pretty cool. Its logo was a lightning bolt I think.
