Don't try me because I looked at the Playtex girdles and feared nothing. (lemmy.world)

How shit does the computer have to be where the machine's performance itself is a factor in p2p torrenting? Like, if it can run Limewire, it should be fast enough where the only relevant bottleneck is the pipe to the internet.

Internet speed and reliability of both host and client are a factor though; downloading something rare where there's only like one guy in Burundi seeding it could take centuries.

Softmodems were painfully CPU intensive vs a hardware/controller-based modems. A slow Celeron proc, as found in most eMachines of the time, was already chugging to keep 98/Me going with everything else.

Oh wait! Reading your response just jarred my memory a little. I'm not even talking about Limewire, I'm talking about Napster! Lol.

I never really used Napster, it came to my attention basically right at the end.
