This got me looking and unfortunately possibly found a bit of info that debunks the whole tweet. Napster was completely gone by July 2001. So this guy either has the date wrong(by like 15months) or it wasn’t a Napster download. Kazaa would be out by then too probably so that leaves Limewire, but that used torrenting protocols so it wouldn’t have had the same susceptibility to a loss of connection.

Napster also let you resume unfinished downloads anyway.

It was likely BearShare, but they were embarrassed to admit it.

Thank God we got down to the truth of the tweet. I was really worried.

You know you don’t have to be a jackass to people right?

You know you don’t have to be anal over things that don’t matter right?

What other memes have you “debunked” recently? That seems like a great use of your time and energy.
