What, you never downloaded a game divided in 40 100MB chunks off of MegaUpload before only to find out part 27 is broken🫠
Fucking war flashbacks happening now

What, you’ve never downloaded a game divided into 5 1.2MB chunks via a 1200 baud dialup modem using XModem on a WWIV BBS and had your mom pickup the phone on the last file?
The best I got is 200 10 meg chunks on a 512k ): part 150 something didn't work...
I was very sad.
oh luelinks, you are missed
This is basically how Usenet piracy works, only with backup sources in case part 27 is broken
