A few years back, there was a story about how a different Matrix fan work, The ASCII Matrix, was the oldest torrent:

(And this all makes me feel old.)
- ehsankia 8y agoThere seems to be a link between Matrix fans and torrent technology fans.
- Endy 8y agoI hope no one here finds this a shocking revelation.
- cesarb 8y agoThe funny thing is, it was in the HN comments about the source of that story (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10962253 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10962253) that was revealed that the Fanimatrix torrent was still being seeded.
- dEnigma 8y agoThat's fascinating! I also was still under the impression that the ASCII Matrix was the oldest surviving torrent and even started seeding it, back when I first heard about that story. Great to see such connections being made; that's what the internet is, or should be, all about.
