People who pirated in the late 90s and early 00s what is the most dramatic change from then till now? And if you had the power what would you bring back?

    It might be boring and obvious, but the speeds.

    I used to have to plan ahead, set overnight downloads, very consciously and actively manage data rates and in general never plan around getting something. Today, I can get basically ANYTHING in less than an hour on FiOp. Most things, 5-10 minutes. Transfer rate has outscaled data size, and it’s fantastic.

      I remember downloading the big stuff at work, because they had a T1, and network security wasn’t really a thing yet.
