"Matrix ASCII" - the oldest "live" distribution of the torrent file is 10 years old

Ten years ago, the Internet looked completely different from today. Torrent trackers like Pirate Bay and Torrentz were only created, and Facebook and YouTube did not exist at all. BitTorrent technology at that time was also very young, and very few people knew what it was. Nevertheless, torrent trackers became more and more popular, getting more and more users who began to understand what advantages this technology gives. It was then, 10 years ago, that a fan version of the film The Matrix was created, and this author’s version was decided to be distributed through torrents.

By the way, none of the thousands of people who downloaded this torrent over the past 10 years was brought to justice, as well as the creator, so the file can be downloaded without fear of being punished by Warner Bros., which owns the rights to the film.

So, “Matrix ASCII” is the same “Matrix”, which is made in green ASCII characters (well, you can understand why). This is a black and green video file, the value of which is now not at all in the idea, but in the fact that the file is already 10 years old, and the distribution is still active. This means that “Matrix ASCII” is the oldest “live” distribution of all.

The file was first posted on December 20, 2003. A few weeks later (January 16, 2004), the distribution was completed with an ASCII-style DVD cover. And here is the site of this miracle .
