I remember having a torrent client set up was a great way to become popular back in 2010

Not exactly, first of all, this is pretty divisive which I dislike, a lot of late Gen z can and has torrented and used ddl sites. It's early Gen z and Gen alpha that is hopeless.

I don't know, but in France people got scared by "HADOPI" which was a government organization to find people sharing files, and like they were sending you e-mails if caught! And if caught a second time, BAM a paper letter! Scary! Then I think there was something like cutting your internet, not sure it ever happened.

seems mostly accurate, except there was no bittorrent in 2002

edit: apparently the protocol was released in 2001- TIL

I am a bit OOTL - which ones went down? Things like Internet Archive & related to AnimeFLV? I presume new ones will come back though?
