Just kind of fell into it, I guess. Started with Napster, dabbled on usenet. Then Scour (remember?) turned me onto video, which led to FTPs, which were replaced by Direct Connect. That reigned supreme for many years and now torrenting just makes the most sense for the majority of file sharing.
An internet search here, a link from a friend there and you're on your way.

don't remember actually, started a long time ago, it evolved from something else
