Since I only have my phone right now, here is October 2nd, 2019
My downloads folder started in the early/mid-nineties. So TAG BBS execitable, probably.
Im currently seeding a torrent ive had since December. But thats just this pc. Ive got way older stuff on my external.
On my phone right now so using my phone's Downloads folder. 2 years old.
It's this meme:
I make 1 to 3 "monthly" backup folders, where everything I've downloaded that hasn't been moved to a home goes into 2024 August Downloads
I think I have back to 2021.
Still use them fairly often, lol.
Ooh this is a good idea! Because when you extract a file you just downloaded the original creation/modification dates are preserved. So when you extract some tarball the directory my be from several years ago so you can't rely on file modification times to see when you downloaded any given thing.
I think I'm going to start doing the date directory thing! I'll start by writing a bash script that runs in a systemd timer that automatically creates a directory whenever the month changes π
I also like doing it this way because then I'm my own archive of old software installers. So if a new version comes out busted, run the old installer! Doesn't always help if it's internet connected, but it's nice to have something.
And I think even my vast amount of history is maybe only 100GB on my backup HDD, if it's larger it's from occasional random large files lol.
I donβt have a downloads directory. The browsers I do use are set to ask for save file name every time (not always the same directory) and I delete everything when done using. The default dump everything to a garbage folder is not really a great idea
June 2023, a picture of my daughter.
a picture of me with my siblings at the grand canyon for when they came to visit me when I was working there. Oct 15 2010
It's a subdirectory that was created on April 2023. Looking inside, it contains a bunch of APKs related to YT Revanced. I kept it there because I can't come up with a better location to move it to. That's basically the same story for almost all of the files that ended up staying in the directory anyways. However, I try to keep try to keep things clean.
Whenever I visit the downloads directory, I make it a point to try to remember the context in which the files ended up in there. If I can no longer remember the context, I delete it. If there ends up way too many files of "the same class" then I'll try to move them together onto a different location. But if it's a file or two that I can't move elsewhere, it's no big deal.
Apparently I have a bunch of scala tuning files from 1996
Did you take a liberal definition of "downloads directory" like the other guy?
Nope, are you weirdly angry for no reason?
No. That's just a long time ago.
I can't imagine you're on the same machine, so I guess you must have rolled over your files in such a way that the download directory was still preserved?
Fair enough - didn't mean to sound confrontational.
I definitely didn't download the files that long ago, that's just when they were created. I probably downloaded them in 2020 or 2021.
The real mystery of my download folder is only a few weeks old, and was caused by a year long obsession I've developed - it's called "what is this.mp3"
If anyone knows what this sample is called, please let me know! It's the new craze I guess
Thatβs the βwheel up signalβ from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.
https://blumarten.bandcamp.com/album/blu-mar-ten-jungle-jungle-1989-to-1999-samplepack
The sample is taken from this song
It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

Also known as a βdub sirenβ
Thank you! Was driving me mad
Where were you hearing it?
Live dnb mixes generally, or occasionally in bass heavy tracks (something abrasive like G Jones)
Fair enough, yeah itβs generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture
Another one youβll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keithβs terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)
I was playing call of duty last night (I know) and I realized that there is a ~500ms sample of the wheel up signal that plays every time someone gets a killstreak. I feel like I'm descending into madness now - Pandora's box has been opened. Where else will this sample show up - is no audio safe?
Mate Iβm Crim in MPβ¦ nothing to be ashamed of haha! No fucking way!? In MWIII?
Yup, MWIII! Maybe I'm losing it, but I swear they used a single cycle of it quietly to notify an event (i'm not 100% sure what the trigger is, i thought kill streaks but it might actually be related to dying)
Haha Iβll have to listen out for it!
Iβve been hooked on this tune for a couple of weeks and itβs got both the wheel up signal and the ray keith squeak lol
STL files for an adafruit motorised guardian from BOTW
I swear i will print it one day
You happen to have a link for that? Sounds very interesting
My downloads directory's empty, because I organise everything to a laughable degree. People actually get inspired by how organised my PC and phone and so on are.
So is mine! But because I dump everything straight tomy desktop...
(Insert we are not the same meme)
A document I need to edit for work from 2 days ago.
Y'all nasty.
In my downloads folder I have an invoice from 2022. In my utilities folder I actually have old DOS executables from 1985.

Not particularly a fan but the Zionist controlled British media really did a number on this guy.
From what I heard, the media crushed him but he was actually a better leader than Starmer. And there's the little fact of Starmer not having a spine and the whole protest squashing thing, which was in my opinion, not the right way to go about this.
Crushed him like a baby rabbit
he was actually a better leader than Starmer
Without looking for a source: I seem to recall he's the opposition leader who's caused the most government U-turns in the history of the British parliament.
