Actually I remember the first thing I leeched was some porn novels of a bbs...

And before that you got new games and apps by mail on diskettes (Oh my was it a long time ago since I last used that word...)

I used to get in AOL chat rooms and find people serving music. You would type to send a list, the list of files would appear and you would select which files you wanted and type a command for each one. The files were then sent to your POP3 mailbox.

I used to do: /server send all

You had to get the list first.

"/fstrulz send list" would be that command. Then each MP3 file would have a number and the lists were always alphabetical.

You could then ask for a single file:

/fstrulz send 211

or a group for an entire album

/fstrulz send 211-225

It was pretty easy, but since the servers (people, not computers) had zero protection, they would be on and leave all the time. They might only come on for a single minute before leaving. The other tough part was that you had to find them as they were never in the same room(s). You had to manually go to rooms such as MP3, sounds, etc just to find a server.

Napster was the first for me too. I think the first time I used a tracker I dl a movie, then all tv shows I needed to catch up on.
