I was a big BBS user (and sysop) from roughly 1988 to 1997 or so. zmodem was much, much faster.

- hinkley 4y agoI was just a user so my memory of why I switched to zmodem was a bit suspect. Now that you mention it, there were definitely largish binaries that I could only download with zmodem. At some point I found a BBS with big files I wanted that only supported ymodem, and after several days of trying and hitting the hour timeout, I gave up.
