In general, it cannot be done.  Your only real course of action is to
contact someone at an Internet site, make friends, and beg and plead
for (a) an account; (b) them do the retrieval and mail it to you.

If you know of something you want, the folks at UUNET will FTP it for you
so that you can then download it via UUCP.  They do this for their
clients.  For information on subscribing, send mail to
uunet!uunet-request.
