Someone above wrote about the early 2000s, when it took 30 hours to get a show of a ftp server, mp3s one at a time. I remember that so lively and well it was frustrating but funny at the same time.
The patience and love you had to get what you wanted to hear so badly… It’s a sad thing to see the more and the faster free music is, the more demanding people get. Just don’t be spoiled, you’ll be much happier.
Oh, well, the ‘needless’ argument. I think it would be fair if the givers judge what’s needed, not the takers.
