[beat@pp]

along the lines of my last post id be interested to hear what site was your first. my first pirate type was a site called epirate(wasnt torrent though) and then i joined my first torrent site which was supreme torrents just after it started(im staff on the site that came out of that site site today:) mmm after that i imagine it was either bitsoup or tl. ah those was the days, when i used to see people with 200gb upload and think they must be cheating rolf.

I remember dling a lot of games from warez sites back in the day. All direct download type of sites, with no registration, just needed to vote for the site before you could download.

Wish I could remember some of the names, I think one of them was pikachuwarez, lol.

First website... CompuServe (I think), in '92. First "bad" website was either Phrozen Crew or Software Cracking Forum around '98. Oh, the days of snail mail trading.

Well my first p2p type of sharing was a "secret" list of IP addresses that were given by a friend. All you had to do was use yout FTP with an IP and start sorting thru the files on that server. The first torrent site used on the other hand was good ol' TorrentSpy.... Ohhh those were some good times. To bad they were forced to close with a hefty fine.... At the moment i use mainly demonoid.com and highly recommend them to anyone.


P.S. This is my first post YEA........

First actual torrent site I was a member of I think was h33t.com back in early 2006.

There have been some Gnutella indexing sites and DC hubs before that, but the names slip my mind.. and of course http://bitzi.com but I don't know if that counts.

I remember getting music files of some server back in the late 90's, but no name comes to mind.

Tvtorrents back when it fit on a single page

[1cooldude]

Demonoid and some early warez which are no longer around..

[Boomer The Dog]

Audiofind, Gnutmutt which were web based search on the Gnutella network, and Lycos FTP search where you could look up music on different FTP servers, and the supply was endless. Cocacolaforever put up so much music, I loved it!

You mean I can have any song? Wow!

[Tachyonn]

warez, and my first torrent site was tracker.tbkresources.org (on which I am a member of Staff now)
I was fascinated by the bittorrent protocol and I still am...

Anyone remember the IRC/FXP boards? I do....

Yep, IRC, newsgroups, ftp on the University's blazing fast "at that time" T1 connection. Good times.

[Scenepirate]

i started out on the irc boards, then got onto a couple of ftp's my first private torrent site was wildbytes

[Mucci Man]

I remember accessing servers with just telephone numbers and your modem. It was an early BBS system.

[yogi44462]

my first was torrentspy sure bring back the memories lol

[psychocydd]

BTPortal back in 2001-2002 was the first torrent site i joined..

[Mels_Smileys45]

First BT site I had any major interest in was Lokitorrent. It was a "members only" site and that was a new concept back then. It was shut down in 2002 and I nearly shit my pants. I had a very nervous stomach for many months after as the debate over if Loki was going to turn over some members who posted content went around. Most of my content was porno so I wasn't in too much danger. Anyone remember the sister site Loki started up for a bit that was dedicated to porn only?

For the life of me I can not remember the first public sites name I tried. It was before SuprNova but I only tested it out a few times and still used Morpheus mostly. I didn't think it would ever go anywhere at the time because it was web site based which I considered a HUGE weak link or a "honeypot" waiting to happen. SO far it seems I was dead wrong as BT is the only game in town now. Having all our eggs in one basket still seems like a bad idea ut until the internet is forced into some type of government regulation because of BT websites I don't see anything changing.

I have to wonder how a clean fast track network would function with todays ultra fast upload speeds. I bet it would be amazing.
