Now how about Carracho?
- tambourine_man 2y agoI just remember I visited VersionTracker everyday looking for software. What a different world.
- lampiaio 2y agoOh my, I used to do that too! There was always something interesting being released, even if just some point release for the odd application.
- tambourine_man 2y agoThe though alone that software didn’t update itself and required the user to manually check a third party aggregator is crazy these days.
- morphle 2y agoThose are my thoughts too.
- amatecha 2y agoor KDX! :)
- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y agoI remember that. I don’t remember how the two were related but the UI was very customized and futuristic. I loved that too.
- amatecha 2y agoKDX was the followup to Hotline, made by the same guy IIRC, he made a new company "Haxial". and yeah it was quite nice!
- lampiaio 2y agoKDX's UI really was something else. I remember first learning about torrents from a KDX server that had a folder with instructions on "how to download Matrix Reloaded at full speed". Downloaded some suspicious "BitTorrent" (I remember thinking the name was appropriate for what it promised) client along with a funny ".torrent" file"... and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the transfer speed use the entirety of my 256kbps connection.
- aorth 2y agoCame here to ask the same thing. I started on Hotline and ended up on Carracho in the late 1990s. That orange icon!!! I used to tie up our house's phone line trying to chat with people and download things.
