Reminds me pretty popular torrent from old times named something similar to "List of all IPv4 addresses - every hacker must have". Sadly I am not able to remember exact name and find it anymore.

Backstory is that ~15 years ago when upload ratio was important some person decided to generate a list and upload a torrent with such click bait name just to increase his/her ratio. It worked well.



that is hilarious

I remember people used to share their C:/program Files/ directory


The Internet was so cheeky and fun 20 years ago… now it’s just tears and fistfuls of cash


i loved using kazaa or hotline because you could browse other peoples directories, sometimes with random odd or forgotten files . It was a unique kind of communication / learning from other people's file organization habits


Same with bearshare and limewire


Cryptocurrencies are fun.


Fistfuls of cash are indeed fun!
