Torrents hadn't really taken off in 2002, it was more Kazaa and eDonkey2000 from my recollection.
Okay now I'm sad I missed eDonkey, was it really different than Napster, Kazaa and such? Or was it the same old, you download a movie and find out once it was downloaded that 5% percent of the time it was beastiality. Fucking weird times man.
eDonkey wasn't like napster/kazaa/ and the rest, but it wasn't quite like torrents either. It was kinda weird tbh, but it was far easier to get and distribute stuff and i was sad when it died.
Was it p2p whole files using a GUI searh or how did you find the content
Not sure about anyone else, but I used a website with eDonkey links (which also worked in the Overnet client)
I was torrenting in 2001/02. Had this awesome little client with Chinese characters that worked great, but took me a minute to figure out which buttons did what.
Pretty sure I still have the stand-alone file on a USB somewhere.
