If I had to guess, the oldest thing in there is probably some ultra-rare fetish porn involving God knows what—maybe even insects, who knows. It’s the kind of stuff you end up with after a week-long meth bender, where you’ve been awake for days, tweaking out of your mind, and your brain is so fried that anything goes. I’m talking about the kind of porn that’s so bizarre and niche, it probably shouldn’t even exist. That file has likely been sitting there for years, a grim reminder of a time when sleep deprivation and bad decisions led me down some seriously twisted rabbit holes.
Are you doing better and less insect-horny now?

On my phone, it’s this which is datestamped 17 February 2012. I think I copied it there off the NAS, and the image is older than that.
Lol I just deleted my downloads on my PC, was > 100 GB lol
September 2000 - Eurythmics Sweet Dreams 128k MP3 downloaded from Napster
You’re not on the same machine, are you? That would be legendary.
That was many, many PCs ago. I kept rolling my HDDs or data over depending on what was upgraded, now my downloads are living on my NAS. One day for shits and giggles I wanted to see what the oldest file I had was, and sure enough I still had a Napster download.
It interests me that you did it in such a way that the download folder stayed the same. I have something more like this going. (Honestly it’s even worse because my top layer is like a physical drawer somewhere)
I took a little liberty with what “downloads folder” meant. It’s not in my root downloads folder, it’s sorted out into a music folder. It was a download though.
I’m just pretty impressed I managed to keep my music library going continuously for 24 years. 20 of those years are just single HDD no redundancy storage, just hopping HDD to HDD.
Is it the same computer? Or just the same directories? Or do you just use your Downloads folder like a normal directory for storing stuff?
I clean mine out regularly. Oldest right now is Cyberpunk 2077 mod that lets you pet your cat.
The APK for F-droid, because I just got a new phone.
Firefox installer.
A folder with waifu2x-caffe (image upscaling software and not porn) from 2020
15 year old crack.
The Linux command “ls -t” sorts by newest first, if anyone else needs a cheatsheet.
It is “model_v5.torrent.zip” from December 2019. Looks like I was going to download AIDungeon back when that was new and amazing. I’m sure I never actually set it up and used it.

I thought to myself “yeah, like I’m going to use the command line to check it instead of a gui file manager”
Then I realized I was already going to ssh into my PC from termux because I am too lazy to get up. So… thanks.
Anyway, it is as I guessed a pdf listing the mandatory courses on the college I allegedly graduated from this summer.
Allegedly? Uh-oh, are you have trouble getting actual documentation of that?
Kind of, actually. The graduation partay was on July 25, but if you’re a no-show, they make you wait till August 22 to go get the papers. Guess they needed a summer break too, but come on!
My default download directory is /tmp, so I don’t really accumulate much of random download files
Since I only have my phone right now, here is October 2nd, 2019
Im currently seeding a torrent ive had since December. But thats just this pc. Ive got way older stuff on my external.
My downloads folder started in the early/mid-nineties. So TAG BBS execitable, probably.
