My pick would be, dealing with the ‘wild west’ atmosphere. That being, before cyber bullying laws existed, you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.

Browser downloads still have this issue, at least partially. If it fails itself it’s fucked, but if you pause it manually it’s fine.
Only really applicable in large (200MB+) files and bad internet, but definitely a thing that can still happen and make you start the download from scratch
True, but at least you can pause a download. That wasn’t possible twenty years ago with any software that I can think of… aside from maybe usenet newsgroups where a single file is split into millions of text documents and then uploaded to services ultra compressed and then recompiled into the file after downloading. That tech has been floating around since the 90’s but it’s still very niche and very few people even knew what a newsgroup was back then.
