AOL was so shitty back then. I remember when I wanted to download a game so I had to time it so that no one was calling. And just when the game was unzipping I heard 'Goodbye!' because someone called. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Man, I remember it took an over hour just to download a 20MB file. That Hexen II demo was worth it, though.

Oh god, I remember those days. Sad thing was, my dad would couch/ump/maintain the fields for girl's softball. (the 8&under, 10&under, etc kinda ages) I pretty much just kissed the internet goodbye when that season rolled around with all the calls we got.

F5 is usually used in browsers to reload page. They are trying to reload page as if picture is not completely loaded and transmission of data is stopped. FFFFF~ is internet meme and part of "frustration".
I first started using internet when we had a nice 11mbps connection, so I had no experience with 56k, but sometimes our internet would completely shit out and it took 5 minutes to load a webpage, or just stop working entirely.

??? ?! Unzipping means, that download's complete. Isn't it?

Nah, it should be like it's 99.9999% completed to make the what you downloaded into a Windows' file. I blame those "Download verification" for it. Still happens to me though. 100%, "Failed to verify downloads".
