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?

100 GB is some rookie numbers. I've had 8tb for years, I'm only half full and the drives are starting to age out. I've already replaced one with a 4tb drive, once the rest are replaced, it'll be 16tb total.

When you think you are bragging, or something, but you are actually just doing hypotheticals wrong...

Assume that the government in this scenario, which has the power to shut down Internet, can also steal your storage capacity.
