v. To download a file across any kind of internet link. Hop on IRC later so
|
|
|
|
|
I can leech some MP3s from you. Used to describe activities ranging from
|
|
|
|
|
FTP, to IRC DCC-send, to ICQ file requests, to Napster searches (but never
|
|
|
|
|
to downloading email with file attachments; the implication is that the
|
|
|
|
|
download is the result of a browse or search of some sort of file server).

Seems to be a holdover from the early 1990s when Toronto had a very active
|
|
|
|
|
BBS and warez scene. Synonymous with snarf (sense 2), and contrast snarf
|
|
|
|
|
(sense 4).
