Off the top of my head others I remember were: Kazaa, Morpheus, Frostwire (when limewire went to shit). I’d say Kazaa was the one I used the most though during its time. Moved to torrents for movies/tv shows pretty quickly and limewire/frostwire for mp3s. Piratebay, ISOHunt, Demonoid (god i was so happy getting an invite there at 13 years old), mininova.
I was an addict. Would download shit I didn’t need and just use it because. Literally spent years learning how to animate in 3dsMax just because my brother in law told me that he “stole” a program that cost thousands of dollars. I think the keygen I downloaded for that was actually my first “letter” from Comcast. It scared the shit out of me at 14.
Bear share, warez, there were private aol chat room with bots you would ping to email you files, then irc was like hitting gold when I was a kid going through warez chatrooms for everything.
I don’t know why but “Bear Share” became a joke between me and my friends. It was like we made fun of one kid for using it instead of whatever we were using at the time. I don’t remember why but that’s all I remember about it. Makes me laugh now. Joking with one of our friends about what P2P client was the best.

Limewire was the shit. But I’m so old I started with Napster
