Re: Great Plan
said by r81984  :p2p started way before broadband. I used to use napster on my dial up way before broadband was popular or even close to being widespread. I had Cox@Home in late 1996...before Napster was a wet spot on the mattress. No, P2P didn't start way before broadband.

You're forgetting about FTP and FSP. Not exactly P2P, but they were popular for grabbing files.
