It was feasible to download online images or WMV, AVI or RealPlayer videos to floppies. But it would take 8 minutes to download 1.44 MB over a mid-range 28k modem, and it could hold about 50 640x480 JPEGs or two minutes of 240p video.
Or did you mean “this was the internet back then” as in sneakernet or another non-computer alternative (not actually a connection between computers but accomplishing the same goal)?
