Torrenting. It is much less dependent on bandwidth, which was a big deal anywhere more than a few years ago.

If you want to stream a 23-minute episode, you effectively need to have enough bandwidth to download it in little more than 23 minutes, whereas you can let it download via torrent for a hour and watch it offline.

>During the late 1990s and early 2000s, users had increased access to computer networks, especially the Internet, and especially during the early 2000s, users had access to increased network bandwidth, especially in the "last mile". These technological improvement facilitated the streaming of audio and video content to computer users in their homes and workplaces.

Sure if you count shitty real player low res stuff or wmv clips. The problem wasn't bandwidth it was usually hosting. Most of us just direct downloaded everything.

There was tape trading too

I think we can consider the real birth of a protocol the moment when it become available to the general public. shitty wmv stream is still stream imo

The question wasn't when streaming became passable over torrenting, just what came first.

What's the last good utorrent client?
