God I love how parts of the internet have progressed

Just now I figured I wanted to watch the latest episode of the office (s07e02) before I go to bed, hadn't downloaded it yet, so downloaded the torrent and in 1 minute and 53 seconds it was downloaded. :D

Eh?

If you are wondering if I've been on the internet long, then yes, I've been on the internet for 14 years, I remember that downloading my first album took about 8 hours and that was the hard way, way before we had fileshare programs etc, slow download speeds, lots of disconnects so that you had to start over etc.

I never needed to download it myself, but yeah I know it was a bitch. I do remember that my moms boyfriend was quite impatient with the download that he fired it up before it was completed, missing lots of stuff, running into things he couldn't see etc. :P

I really like him, though you can definitely notice that this was written for the US, and while I love the US version, the original feels so much more real, where you actually really hate certain characters. Though I really liked his character, so arrogant and stupid, especially in the christmas special (was the christmas special right?) where you see him joining all sorts of shows thinking people actually know who he is because he was in a documentary. :D

I remember, vividly, using Go!Zilla to download large files back in the days of 56k... would you believe I only got broadband in 2008 ? :P

Slow internet? Where?

*Looks at newspaper advertising unlimited 100 mbps fibre plan student special at $39 a month. Looks at coporate 1gps plan. Looks back at puny 16mbps broadband speed*

I got a 60mbit connection, though most torrents don't download any faster then like 2.5Mb per sec.
