Soulseek...
Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Next you're gonna tell me Limewire still going or is it GNUtella now? I forgot I'm old and brain not worky right.
limewire ran on the gnutella network
Yep I remember that cuz I was getting into open source at the time and that's when I found out GNU had a Limewire client and that's how I used it in SuSE Linux (boxed distro, pre-Novell). I got my pirate copy of WineX from it lol
I bet gnutella is just malware now. You had to double check file sizes cuz there was a lot of 18kb files with the same name as exes and popular MP3 tracks.
