Who is Still Using FSP?

Posted by Cliff on from the lifesigns-for-a-90s-protocol dept.

orangesquid asks: "So what on earth has happened to FSP, the original 'underground filesharing' system? I know it dried up a long time ago, but most old protocols still tend to have a few odd users (gopher, finger, etc.). However, I haven't found a single FSP site out there that still works. Googling is difficult, because all of the search hits are dated 1996 or earlier, and none of them are accurate. Is FSP still around at all? What are people using it for now?"

    You've probably caused a lot of people to Google, download and then use it.

    Heisenberg would be proud.
