To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don't look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it's just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett's manual search.

Limewire was like that. It was heavily abused and unsafe to find shit with but it was like living in the future.

Maybe because I didn't know what I was doing back then but that was the only way I used Limewire

Yeah it was both a torrent manager and search engine. What we didn't know was what came from where.
