N64 Roms
You cant, as far as I know. Most sites dont support the bandwidth, and if they do, they get shut down by Nintendo before much is downloaded. N64 Roms were huge about 4 years ago because you could buy (not in retail stores, but they were circulating in specialty stores) devices that could slide into your actual N64 and play a Rom from a disk. I never had one, or used one, but that was what I am familiar with.
I know the sites are out there, and, if you're lucky, can get some actual files downloaded. Ive tried before, but they are always garbage files once downloaded.

You will need a file transfer/sharing program to download the files. The "hl" in http://www.hlsearch.com refers to Hotline, which can be downloaded at http://www.bigredh.com and is cross platform. This is important to note because all ROM's for console game emulators are also cross platform. That means you can download a ROM from PC Hotline server.
Not that you asked, but you can also find Gameboy Advance ROM's on Hotline if you look. The emulator is a bit slow, but it looks great! Check out the following emulators.

limewire?
I usually use it for mp3's only, but maybe try out Limewire? U can find everything from jpegs to video to applications to music with it.

I'm so dissapointed my friggen university is limiting not only bandwidth but they banned filesharing services and I was all excited about using Hotline, now i'm stuck, does anyone know of a big IRC community out there for MAC?
I know two sites: http://romhustler.net and http://dohgames.com
The files on romhustler are 7zs so search for 7z on http://macupdate.com for a good 7z app. Oh and dohgames has ALOT of popups.
