Or the even worse era of trolling IRC chats looking for DCC bots and hoping your feeble attempts at security or obfuscation will hold. Ah, the good ol days.
xdcc msg MoViEgOdz! get pack #128 *starts downloading hardcore goat sex*
"Ah shit, I meant 127” xdcc msg MoViEgOdz! cancel 128 *goat sex downloads even faster*
“…well, at least it’ll be educational”
Oh definitely, but wow did it suck when they went offline… You just keep those parts around unless you can find another bot to start and complete a whole other download of different sized split rars…
By that point there were other options that were more popular, yeah. Xdcc as a script for ircii came out around 1995ish, maybe a bit earlier. Early 2000s would be around when mirc scripts had xdcc bots built in, so well after they first became common.
At that point you also had Napster, kazaa, limewire, even the first bittorrent client (BitTorrent).

Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
Just do it now. Only like 8 other people are using DCC, so it’s obfuscation in itself
Grab list, found what you wanted… As 49 separate downloads, on one busy bot.
While on dialup.
Admittedly, the small file chunks made sense on dialup, but man did it suck when you’d end up with 102 of 110 files and then they’d vanish.

I’ve never heard of this before. I was on IRC in the oughts, probably a bit late to see it happening. Neat.
