That reminds me of the only "hack" I recall doing when I was younger. Back then, many BBS systems had 10/1 download/upload ratios enforced. I found that if you aborted an Xmodem download on the last block, you would still get the whole file (the block would finish transferring) but it wouldn't send the acknowledgement back to the BBS. I would just look like a failed download, and wouldn't count against your ratio. I think I filled up some 50 or so floppies that summer (and had the phone bill to match). Other than that, I was never good at most hacking. I was into writing code, and working with algorithms, but I never got the knack on how to bypass security systems (I also didn't have any other computer savvy friends back then either). But it did help that I had an office job (which involved using my PC talents on the side) from the age of 15 on up. Kept me too busy making money to worry about side projects.
