I didn't have wired networking everywhere in the house. So I would torrent the latest episode of a TV show (before it released in my own country) at something like 45 kbps. At 350 MiB it was usually possible to watch the episode the same evening I started the download. Once it was finished I'd have to carry the box upstairs to FTP the episode to the Xbox's HDD and then carry it back down again to connect to the TV.

Later, I would run Azureus inside of a Linux distro on the Xbox to download content directly.

Great times.
