    /salute. The old dev of WinMX has continued. Check out Tixati, DarkMX, and Fopnu.

    Yes! Got a lot of mislabeled songs I ended up really liking and expanded my tastes quite a bit. Fun times

  Am I right in thinking that limewire and kazaa were like proto-BitTorrent ? P2P file sharing

  Was Napster the original too?

  • FourWaveforms@lemm.ee ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Napster was the first dedicated p2p file sharing program IIRC. Peer-to-peer was done before then using DCC (direct client connection) on IRC servers, but it was hardly the same experience. Limewire and other BitTorrent software took off after the music industry killed Napster.

    The brand was brought back a while later, and it was legitimate if I recall, but by that time nobody cared. BitTorrent had taken center stage, and iTunes had become a thing. The latter eclipsed BitTorrent (for music) because it was dead nuts reliable, and unlike BitTorrent, using it wouldn’t get your Internet cut off. And it was wired into the iPod ecosystem, so for most people it was a very easy choice.

    In 2001 my Uni’s entire campus network was shut down for 3 days to clean up a massive NIMDA infection. Wild times.
