Your First Time

Perhaps I am an overly sentimental guy, but I still remember the first file I have ever downloaded from the internet. I kept it on my HDD as I upgrade from one computer to the next.

I'll upload it up when I get home, but it's a very small desktop fun utility call Neko. It opens up a window and this cute little cat chases around your mouse pointer. It's not much, but it was my first. I'll always love it and treasure it.

Before anyone pukes from being overwhelm by me being excessively maudlin, I'll stop.

Do you remember your first download? Better yet, do you still have the file?

If animals weren't meant to be eaten, then they wouldn't be so delicious and easy to catch!

Face it: if crime didn't pay, there would be very few criminals.

I can't remember, but I imagine it was QBasic-related (thats what I was into at the time).

You could probaly say your first download was the first webpage you ever visted if you want to get all technical, or you could even say the first packet you recieved while your first modem was did its "handshake" thing for the first time with your ISP.

Sword of Fargoal on my Commodore 64, on a 300 baud modem.. took 2 days.

Lol, sorry, cannot remember :razz: Too long ago.

Probably waiting in line to get the 1.0.0.3 patch for HL1.

:smile: Mine was before the days of the web. When the internet was
used mainly with emails and FTP. I used Lynx or something like
that as a text browser before Netscape came out.

Right. World wide web didn't exist until 1995.

I have no idea what was the first thing I downloaded ... an ip address from my ISP probably.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I think it was that game called "powerslide" and i think i went to sex.com once right in front of my dad. woops

Life is like a box of chocolates u never know what you'll get you might get a.....scream.

I think my first real "Web" experiences were with Quake shareware and
downloading Blackthorne. Although I know I used internet stuff before
that, nothing really sticks out. Those and the original C&C.

MY first download was the first version of Netscape navigator for windows 95. I'm not that old, my dad just always had computers and stuff.

Reckless disregard for childrens well being, women and nothing but utter contempt for other cultures.

I can't remember my EXACT first download, but one of the first was the
anarchist cookbook. Followed shortly after PDF scans of the CIA's
MKULTRA project papers, which have, all but a few select pieces
mentioned in court, dissapeared of the face of the net. You can't get
the good stuff post 9/11 now....

Mine was the demo of Quake 1 :biggrin:

The strength of the turbulence is directly proportional to the temperature of your coffee.

Is that a 56kb/s or 56k/s ?

Finally, as I promised, I have uploaded http://a%20href=my first internet download for all of you who are curious.

It's a very small file, but it's very cute.

[EDIT] For some reason, I cannot get a direct link to an EXE file. So I changed the URL above to a site instead.

Duke Nukem 3D Shareware (well wasn't really 3d just 2d FPS).

That was my first download that I can remember, but I know for a fact that I had downloaded some games before that.

Scarily enough, Neko the Cat was one of the first games I remember playing on my OS/2 PC. That must have been ages ago...

Meh, probably the 1.1.1.0 patch for old WON HL/CS.

Breaking the laws of mapping since 2003 and doing a damn fine job at it

Putting aside the old BBS days, I think it was the Quake demo. My older
brother was in college at the time, and was given a dial-up account
(back when 14.4 was like... WOOOOOAAA), so he let us use it. I was told
we had limitted use of the net and was quite worried someone would
break down the door of our house when they found out I left my computer
downloading something on the internet for an hour. ^_^
