The article is a bit anachronistic, and not just in details. P2P wasn't widely used in 1999, it was more a 2000-2004 thing. When I first got on the internet in 1998, I wouldn't have known how to get warez, and I really wouldn't have needed to. That was in the era of direct downloads, and just going to random pages.


The joy of downloading 130 1.44 mb zip files with no recovery files so if any of them is corrupt you just spent a day downloading useless files.
