I also exploited the living shit out of my high school’s fast connection and a friend’s Zip drive.

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.
