Not discontinued officially, but I won't update my uTorrent version beyond the last good version, v2.2.1
The 3.x line bloated it up with adware and other garbage, and v2.2.1 is rock-solid stable. And the best alternative (qBittorrent) freezes up all the time with no known way to fix it, and everything else by comparison just sucks.

So to me, modern uTorrent is dead, but v2.2.1 keeps on truckin'.

Skype,Dev-C++,HiSMS,Windows Media Player…etc.

Skype also died for me when M$ bought it and took over.

Adobe Flash? if that counts.. by now i definitely don't think anyone misses stuff like the early versions of Pro Tools/Sound Tools when it was still Digidesign, so that doesn't really count.

Skype

Skype is still being developed, but you can no longer do free calls unless you pay for a subscription.

I use qBitTorrent, it saves me from all of the spyware and ad-ware that uTorrent has.

Eew.

qBitTorrent freezes up on my constantly to the point that it's unusable, and many people all over the world also experience it. It's worthless until they fix it. And stick with uTorrent v2.2.1, it won't force you to update or anything. It's the last version without any of that adware crap in it. "The last good version".

I frankly have no issues with it. But uTorrent would keep throwing up license agreements and adware shit, then they've been caught stealing data and all sorts. The rabbit hole goes wild.

Eew.

Nobody ever uses it anymore, haven't done ever since 2015.

 

[Kerl_Kerlsen]

Winamp (the best music player)

Came here to say that

Then I'll go with my second choice:
Opera Mail

 

[duwen]

WinAmp



{edit} LOL, didn't see the above posts!

My next choice would be Commodo's fork of Firefox, Ice Dragon.

It does whip the llamas ass frfr. Best media player ever than VLC.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Windows 7.

And after that for me, it'll be Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC which has extended support until 2029.

Yeah, I'm good for another six years, but then what... It'll either be Windows 12 if it's actually good or finally go the Linux route.

I've been using K-Lite Codec Pack with MPC-HC for many years now, well, I used to use CCCP until it was discontinued.

AIO media players for me are on Android boxes/devices just for convenience.

Microsoft Messenger, but I am probably just nostalgic for those days

I was just about to say the same, MSN was working pretty well back in its prime days.

 

[JaNDeRPeiCH]

or is in a hiatus

Winamp,Ares Galaxy,ICQ,MnMessenger(microsoft) and Nero Burning.

I called it MSN Messenger as it was better known.

I also miss the AOL chat days. Not the hours it took to download a 500MB PC demo.

Same I loved the MSN days. It was so much better than the social media platforms we have today.

I don't really watch live tv anymore, however I was also a big fan of Windows Media Center back in the day. LibreELEC (Kodi + Tvheadend) gets you pretty close to the same experience now, however for a long while after Windows Media Center was killed off nothing else came close to the functionality / ease of use that provided out the box.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Windows Media Center

Always wanted to use that back in the day, except I didn't know how to.

MPC-HC is more convenient, anyway.

 

[subcon959]

ICQ was the chat program I spent all my time on in the early 2000s. The best part was you could see the other person type in real time.

I also miss all the early file sharing apps like Napster, Bearshare, Edonkey2000, Limewire, WinMX etc.
