i worked at a community college that had a completely wide open T1
Our university had one of the only T1 lines in the state at the time and it was unfortunately proxied so I could only access FTP sites that used port 80 at the time. Significantly reduced my access but I found enough Phish albums to sell them for my ignorant roommate for 15 bucks a pop.

AOL was obviously really big at the time, and there were several mp3 chat rooms where people operated mp3 bots. You would just type commands to list the available songs, type another command for the one you want and it would pop into your inbox for download. The song selection was very limited.
It was almost exclusively useful for popular new release albums. They often had full albums weeks before release date. This was at the height of the mtv trl era so lots of Eminem, dr Dre and nu metal stuff.
