I remember originally attempting to pirate Starcraft from an FTP I had access to from some IRC channel I used to frequent. Even with all the music stripped from the game, my 28.8kbps modem was unable to download it overnight and for whatever reason that FTP did not allow resumption of transfers. I had to get my friend with a 56kbps modem to download it and then transfer it zipped to a zip disk. My friends who were in college at the time had access to the computer lab so we would pass the zip disk around to install it one at a time and at the end of the night we would uninstall it to cover our tracks. Good times.
