[Hypothetical] The internet is getting shut down for 5 years. You have 100 GB of storage available, you have 24 hours to prepare. What do you download? - eviltoast

Lets say you live in a world where the world government has decided people are getting too addicted to the internet and ordered the internet to be shut down for 5 years. The 100 GB of storage is all you have (excluding essential system files for your Operating System). You have 24 hours before the internet is getting shut down. What do you download?

    Since it hasn’t been mentioned yet:

    Project Gutenberg.

    It’s pretty much all copyright-less (?) books. About 40GB.

    I’d probably also torrent a shitton of less-than-legal books. Mostly because they’re copyrighted, not because the books themselves are illegal. I would survive the rest of my life on books. Maybe a few GB of music - I’d need some background noise if I were to study.

    Some free OS’ like Debian and FreeBSD, and their manual. Maybe some magazine about both?
