First movie I ever pirated was Spider Man 1 (the Tobey McGuire one). Over dial up. Similar situation, it took days to finish with intermittent downloading. The quality was so shitty it was basically unwatchable, even back then when I hadn't yet seen 1080p let alone 4k.

800x600 was a respectable screen resolution in those days and people with decent computers ran at 1024x768, which is more vertical pixels than 720p, though 4:3 ratio. That's not something I'm nostalgic about lol. Winamp could only fit like 30 songs on the screen even if you expanded your playlist to the bottom of the screen (and I have a feeling I might be overestimating it here).

I think the second movie I downloaded was captured by a camcorder in the theatre, including people blocking the view as they walked to and from their seats. Scary Movie iirc.
