Your first torrent

Pretty sure it was Lucky Louie so my first torrent was problematic.

JesusAndYourBush

My first torrents would be sometime in 2003.  Some jpop stuff, the .torrent file itself downloaded from a vary simple page consisting only of the links and not much else.  I remember one of the first things I downloaded was a Matsuura Aya video.  I'm not putting the title because Google translate translates it wrongly and makes it sound like something pervy and it wasn't.  In the video she just wandered around the strangely deserted town looking at stuff and nothing much happened at all, but it was quite relaxing to watch.

The first proper tracker I remember using was the Bunko tracker which started in 2003/2004 which even years after it's demise still remains the best torrent site ever.

I downloaded all three seasons of the Transformers cartoons, this was back in 2003-2004 I think.
Took about two weeks.

H-O-W-L

The first thing I torrented was the game Bioshock about ten years ago, but the first TV show I torrented was James Cameron's laugh riot Dark Angel. Utter bollocks, really, but I was thirteen.

I'm pretty sure it was some poor quality copies of the surviving episodes of the 1963 Tony Hancock series 'Hancock', the ones he made for ATV, off of UKNova. I really bloody miss UKNova. It would routinely have exciting oddities for comedy nerds popping up on there. I dunno if there's an equivalent today.

Earlier on, p2p wise when my flatmate at the time first shelled out for broadband it was the song 'Young Americans' by Bowie off Limewire. Then 'No One Knows' by Queens Of The Stone Age before they were dog eggs. We stayed up all night getting rat arsed on vodka downloading song after song. I still remember the thrill of being able to illegally download ANY SONG YOU CAN THINK OF instantly, even if as was sometimes the case with Limewire it turned out not to be the song it said it was and some recording of an inept band flailing about in their garage. "Cocaine Blues (Rare Unreleased Nirvana Song)", indeed, you scamps.

Pretty sure it was Japanese porn and more than  likely Akira Fubuki in early 2000s, me house mate explained what Kazaa was and allowed me to search and download a couple of clips. I very soon bought my own computer!

I don't think we'd even had broadband for 24 hours before my dad had caught and taken the piss out of me for downloading pornography on kazaa.

28 i was, etc.

I still have the first .mp3 I ever downloaded - "The World Is Not Enough," by Garbage. It's like 128 Mbps and is all of about 2Mb, but still. And yes, I know it's not a very good song, but I liked it at the time. I was young. Well, 29.
