If you interrupt an internet connection on any normal torrent client from the last, like, 20 years, you can always resume when you’re back online. But back in the 90’s most software didn’t fail that gracefully. And the internet connections today just aren’t as flaky as a dialup connection was.
Are people not downloading huge torrents anymore?? How is downloading some large thing overnight a rare occurrence of bygone eras???
My only guess is that kids these days don’t know about pirating and instead stream everything or download apps?
We still are but now we have gigabit service.

Web browsers still don’t have proper file download resuming capability despite web servers [nearly] all supporting everything needed for it.
God I wish Mozilla wasn’t run my MBAs. Web browsers could have been so good by now.
We have gigabit, 2.5 and 5Gbps speeds now. Even 100GB+ games download in less than 15 minutes. Literally nothing takes several hours anymore.
