   I'm always a little surprised when I don't see mentions of FSP [1] in works like this. For a short time, it seemed to be the warez transfer means of choice for those looking to fly under the radar and avoid detection. (So I'm told.) But maybe it wasn't much more than a footnote in the grand scheme of things.

      My impression was that FSP was when you had an account on a Unix server at a University and wanted to slowly move files without attracting attention

      When people had their own internet connected machine other protocols were much better choices.
