I was a E-donkey addict, up to the moment that the files that i downloaded where more than 50% fake.

A friend explained how torrents work, showed me isohunt, and i came to torrent world.

Of course FST was the big step on knowing new and valuable trackers.

I've always been on in the scene from my early days with Paradox on the Vic20, C64 and Amiga. I've transitioned from BBS's to FTPs and usenet - and then BT just became another popular medium. So naturally, I adopted it.

I started torrenting just for the scene releases.

i started out with gnutella man was that fun ..eventually it got to my nerves with all the viruses and fake files ..then one of my friends told me about bittorrent and we all got addicted..then we heard about newsgroups but that was totally crap. BT is the best method of filesharing

Having been a file sharer for years i knew about torrents since Supernova. Did not use it as my main source for files before the first scene tracker was introduced. At least the first one known to me, that was Torrentbits the original run by redbeard (the good old days)
I switched from being a "low level" currier for several ftps, 5min to 1 hour pre was the usually the rules. And being in a different time zone than the US just made it so much easier than camping the computer for credits. This was before the scripts was made the life a tad easier for the curriers.

I first started torrenting because of wrestling. I would download the PPV's from WinMX when someone I was downloading from finally told me about PWT. I've been using torrents ever since.
