Where can I download a legal version of GTA 2?

Where can I download a kosher version of GTA 2? [More inside...]

I've been trying to download GTA2 from the classics section of the Rockstar Games website for weeks now and every single time it tells me that the server is busy.

Although I know I could get it on P2P, I'd rather have the Rockstar version as I know it is legitimate and doesn't have the potential to contain dodgy spyware, trojans, viruses and the such.

Does anyone know of a site that contains a mirror of GTA2 - as in the Rockstar officially released one?

Home of the Underdogs is a great site for older games.

Not sure if GTA 2 is there, but I remember seeing GTA 1 on it.

Sorry, I was wrong. I saw the GTA link here which sent me to Rockstar.

Just to note, from the Rockstar page, no mirrors allowed:

PLEASE NOTE that while this game may be downloaded for free by all who register by filling out the form on this page, it is NOT freeware and may not be mirrored or duplicated by any third parties without express written consent from Rockstar Games.

They should have used BitTorrent. That has authenticity checking and could handle their load requirements.
