They were downloaded off "warez" sites. A compressed file of the iso disk image, with a keygen and sometime a hack included to run the game. The compressed file was split up into a few dozen parts so if one of the downloads got corrupted, it wasn't that much time to redownload it. They were sketchy, and usually adds that needed to be clicked on were involved. Viruses were often a possibility too.... Lol
You don't have to tell me. I did plenty of my own downloading.
The Pirate Bay, Napster, Limewire were the big 3 back in the day.
