Just downloading this file. Yeah it's big, about 300 Kb, but it'll be done in just 11 minutes thanks to ZModem compression and my new 2400 baud modem.

Downloading a file from a web page using a web browser in 2026 is worse than using FTP or even ZModem on a BBS thirty years ago
File downloading technology was perfected decades ago. We have regressed as a species! The Commodore 64 could resume partial downloads; Why the fuck can't Firefox & Chrome

Transferring files which are too big for floppy to a vintage 40 year old Macintosh LC using a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Serial Pi plus from www.abelectronics.co.uk/p/51/serial-... and a serial cable to the Macintosh. Using Minicom on the Pi and Zterm on the Macintosh with ZMODEM protocol.

I remember finding ZModem and its "resume download" feature for the first time. Absolute game changer.

Wonder how long a model download takes with Zmodem

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the TCP/IP packets,
But the lack thereof would cause my download to tank it,
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out,
ZModem Resume doesn't exist, so I have faith in nothing
Wanna put my tender 9.6k bandwidth in a blender

I recall downloading Doom from a BBS with Zmodem. I think I used Telix and it took like an hour or two. I'm pretty sure my first couple attempts ran over the BBS time limit and I got kicked off.
Still faster than snail mail!
