Napster has grown with unprecedented speed. First available in 1999, its software has now been downloaded over 71 million times. Its appeal is broad � though designed by a college student and popular with teenagers, half of its users are over 30 years old, and they are evenly divided between men and women. Its peak of 1.8 million simultaneous users is within striking range of AOL's reported peak of 2.2 million simultaneous users.
