80's through 1992: sneakernet (just copied stuff on floppy disk)
1993-94: BBS
1995-99: Usenet alt.binaries.* groups, IRC bots, various FTP sites (often legit high-bandwidth sites that got "hijacked" with warez hidden in /pub/incoming/.../ /empty/^C^Z@$%/ or similar directory structures).

Btw, one of the first IRC channels I found was #oldwarez on efnet. I think it's still around today, or at least it was last time I checked a few years ago. At one point, there was even a "retro warez" group called 8088 State that use to hang out in there and serve files.
