The modem thread got me thinking about the good ol' days of Napster. What was your first download? Mine was "Drops of Jupiter." The year was 1998.

I forgot the name of the program but it was available on campus that allowed you to share songs, videos etc.

that's impressive considering that "Drops of Jupiter" didn't come out until 2001

i can't remember. but i do remember looking up an oldie and downloading it for my parents to show them how it had everything. i also must have downloaded a dr. dre song because in 2001 i got a nice email saying my napster account was closed because i was on record as downloading his copyrighted music.

There may have been some tracks I grabbed from Napster in spring 2000 while still living in the dorm.

The first song I remember fully DLing from Napster was Big Pimpin'. It sticks out it took about an hour to DL from the dialup connection I had to settle for back at home.

All my downloads were on DC++, and they are all gone since the laptop I had in college finally gave up.

I don't remember exactly, but there is a VERY non-zero chance my first Napster download was Fly by Sugar Ray.

Never used a free download service because Aggies don't lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those that do.

Plus, I'm not a poor and I believe that musicians should be paid for their work.

I blame Napster for breaking up one of my relationships back in the day. Porn was so much easier to hide and required effort to obtain before Napster. Apparently certain women don't appreciate finding out that you are fapping on the side to 10-20 other women when they go try and download the Jimmy eat world cd on your computer.

Who knew?

I don't remember. I remember using my 56.6 kbps modem on a ISDN line to get the full 56.6 kbps (not the 53.3 from regular phone lines) and setting up downloads all night.

Come the morning, I would have 6-10 new songs. Then another list before leaving for work/school.

Really funny coming to college and having to explain to people what to do and how to do it.
