So probably not gonna use it again anytime soon. I just thought what would have happened if I hadn't remembered that file name thing and would have found out when trying to play the damn file after downloading it. It just downloaded a few kilobytes of a couple hundred MB, but still. I freaked the hell out and nuked the whole installation, deleted everything, overwrote empty parts of the disk with zeros. So I opened up the window that shows all the file names of the tv show I just added to the download queue, and most of them very explicitly hinted at child porn. That's why eventually websites that manually indexed links took over. For some reason, people back then liked to rename random movies or porn to current blockbusters, so when you look for a new movie you get the wrong thing. For Peer-to-peer file sharing like eMule and BitTorrent, it is best. It was handy back in the day (around 2001) to spot fakes. Thats is especially important if you often download large torrent files from the internet. Then I remembered that you can see the file name that all the other peers stored the file as locally. A minute in it found a couple peers and started downloading, very slowly.
Actually found the show, started the download. Installed aMule on a whim, got it connected and used the search function. Was looking for an old obscure TV show and couldn't find that anywhere.
