15 years ago?! This tweet must be 10 years old now

Edit: it's from 2017, that makes more sense https://x.com/AngryManTV/status/906298612786884609

It still doesn't make much sense. In 2002 people were already using torrent protocol, that allows to download files in chunks. You can download the missing 3% of your file latter. And even before torrent there was a Direct Connect protocol and DC++ client.

Torrents hadn't really taken off in 2002, it was more Kazaa and eDonkey2000 from my recollection.
