Was torrent available (or common) during those speeds? I remember napster/kazaa/limeware and downloading stuff like green day.exe
I started using torrents when I already had broadband, although very asymmetrical

Ah, downloading postage stamp sized anime releases that still took all day. Forget binging a series in one go, you watched an episode or two a day because that was as fast as you could get them.
But you can’t forget the absolute minefield of Kazaa, Emule & Limewire - you never knew when you’d get a virus, something random, literally just cp or actually manage to grab the thing you intended to.
