I just remember I visited VersionTracker everyday looking for software. What a different world.

Oh my, I used to do that too! There was always something interesting being released, even if just some point release for the odd application.

KDX'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.

I remember that. I don’t remember how the two were related but the UI was very customized and futuristic. I loved that too.

Came 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.
