The best thing about limewire was downloading "stupify" by Disturbed. Hitting play and it's some random song you have never heard before that absolutely slaps.

Or random wrong names songs then years later you go to a concert and hear random band number 2 playing and it's their song you got from lime wire years ago

The best thing about limewire was that it allowed downloading of video files and it became prevalent just as I became pubescent.

Morpheus was a fantastic successor.

I feel like it was a similar experience in the earlier days of torrenting. Nowadays it still happens but only from less reputable torrents. Though also it's been years since I ever torrented music. These days almost everything is online for download or can be downloaded or captured from a streaming service.
