The real ancient trials were on the 1990s warez sites where you'd have to hunt for a 2 pixel square link on a giant page of porn ads and other trickery. Then you could get part 42 of 78 of a .rar for some game. Repeat another 77 times and wait a week for it to download on 33.6k and you got a free game!

And using flash get to manage your shitty download speed to resume disconnections and multithreading the 5 kbps stream to max out your download.
