My school had a T1, too, but I didn’t have a zip drive, and MP3s were too big for floppies. However, old cracked games very often came in segmented zips that were floppy sized. I’d bring home games 20 or 30 disks at a time (or as many as I thought I could without drawing attention in the computer lab) over the course of a week or more.

If you pick up the phone, I have to start downloading this MP3 I’ve been trying to get for half an hour all over again!
I started using GetRight, if I recall correctly.
