I remember coming home from junior high in about '95-'96 and mom had a new Pakard Bell computer sitting there. I managed to get on the internet and somehow stumbled upon a download link for Weezer's "El Scorcho" video probably through muchmusic.com.
So I start downloading it and the little box pops up and says the speed (1.4kbps?) and that it was going to take hours to finish. I figured that that meant I couldn't do anything else on the computer until it was done. So my mom, brother and I all sit around waiting hours for this video to download. Me cause I want to see it, and them cause they want to use the damn computer. So it finishes and it's a friggin' 20 second clip of the middle of the video.
I didn't download anything for a long time after that.
