I used to download full video game soundtracks. It would take me all night to download a single album, and I'd have been disconnected from the internet when I woke up in the morning because my ISP wouldn't support a connection length longer than 8 hours.
We couldn't even stream music, let alone stream video.
- crtasm 4y agoHow long ago are you talking? Realplayer came out in 1995, I was listening to live DJs over my dialup connection in 1996.
- everdrive 4y agoI never had a fast or consistent enough dial-up connection to stream audio. I tried multiple times, but it never worked for me. I'd get maybe 15-30 seconds of contiguous sound, and the whole thing would fail. I did download MP3s though. A 3mb MP3 file would usually take me approximately an hour. And I downloaded ~3,000 this way.
