Warez is still used... although much less now with the boom of P2P, I remember searching and searching until I found what I wanted, then, after downloading 45 files 2mb each on dial-up the 46 and last file would be a broken link.... Or even better!
After download a 600MB game installing it and playing the first level, I found that it "stuck" when loading the 2nd level!!!
LOL fond memories indeed, now with P2P forutnately it's all over.
of course these downloaded file were all for backup purposes (I had the games but I didn't had a burner so I couldn't make copies...) :eyebrow
