            Oh come on. That guy would be friends with anyone! He was probably friends with like 600 Adolf Hitlers.

            He was friends with Steve from high school and no one wanted to be Steve’s friend. He only posted pictures of the columbine shooters with captions like, “An hero, an marter. I will join u soon brave man.” His profile played like 10 Marilyn Manson songs at the same time. Guess who his friend was?

            Tom.

      I think soulseek is the biggest one that works like this, but it’s entirely dedicated to music.

        Yep soulseek is awesome, I’m sharing about 500gb of stuff there. There’s more then just music there too, you can find movies and TV shows there that aren’t on public trackers. Also… fonts

    I loved downloading a song from Limewire and the band was labeled completely wrong. Then 10 years later I get made fun of for saying X band made Y song because I legit thought they made it because of Limewire.

      I love listening to Twisted Sister’s Come on Feel The Noise or Bob Marley’s Don’t Worry Be Happy.

      When I listen to Friends will be Friends from Queen, in the back of my mind I’m still certain that’s from Good Charlotte.

        It was simply peer to peer file sharing rather than torrenting. Torrenting allows you to collect different parts of the file from different people. Lime Wire just depending on a stable connection between you and the host machine.

        It was also full of fake shit and viruses. I remember spending hours getting rid of “Gator” a couple of times as a stupid college student.

          I swear I remember limewire having the equivalent of seeds and files being downloaded from multiple places at the same time.

          Mandela effect?

            Yeah I’m with you, hell I even remember being on WinMX before that and even that having multiple seeds?

        Yeah it was so good that every download was a gamble if you were getting the song you wanted or uncensored war footage and cp

        LimeWire was a great way to get music for free back in the days. The Firehawk52 guide is a modern way of getting music for free.

          One of those services is still alive and kicking and perhaps even better than it was during the p2p audio hayday and I’m seeking within my soul for the bravery to tell others what it is.

            I haven’t had much luck with Soulseek, I prefer downloading from Deezer or Qobuz with the method described in the Firehawk52 guide. And they even let you download FLACs.

              I get plenty of FLAC from there. I have issues downloading anything older than a year or two on torrent sites. But YMMV, and I think it depends somewhat on what type of music you listen to.

    I too entered the twilight zone when I noticed something in my discord servers. I’m not in many servers, but I had subscribed in an AI image creation server called BlueWillow. So one day the icon was different, resembling a lime… It took me a while to understand what’s happening.
