Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Nice try FBI 😎

Thats about a few days worth of downloads for me. Over 150tb raw 80 tb used

4451 movies

398 series / 36130 episodes

Taking up 25.48tb after conversion to HEVC compressing it ~40%

Every series is monitored for new episodes which download automatically; and there's a dozen or so public IMDB lists being monitored for new movies from studios/categories I like. Anything added to the lists gets downloaded automatically.

Then there's Ombi gathering media requests from my friends/family to be passed to sonarr/radarr and downloaded.

At this point, the library continuously grows on its own, and I have to do little more than just tell it what I want to watch.

Big, but orders of magnitude smaller than what all the Steam games I've bought at sales and never found the time to play would need if I installed them all at the same time.

“Piracy” really is a service problem.

(Fuck, I've got Amazon Prime for the free deliveries — it comes bundled around these parts and is surprisingly cheap — and I still torrent Amazon series because it's more convenient and gives me better quality...)

Currently 40.2 TB, around 1800 movies, 430 TV shows and 4600 albums.

These are some low bitrate movies. Mine is probably at least 10x that size but nowhere close 10x the content.

Just to be clear: if Netflix would have high quality versions of ALL movies and series and now the bullshit it's turning into, I would never Pirate. Too much trouble, too much work, too expensive. Netflix would be could be easy but instead it's getting shittier by the minute.

Don't get me started on Amazon or disney

Much, much larger.

About 14TB. Which reminds me, gonna need a new drive to drop in the NAS soon.

Round 30TB between music/tv/film/stand-up/books/comics/applications.

Around 16 TiB and I keep 3 copies of everything so 48 TiB used of around 65TiB. I encoded all my TV shows and most of my movies with AV1 and keep most of my files compressed, which saves a bunch of space so hopefully I won't need more drives any time soon

Over 2500 movies and over 200 series. There is a lot of todo maintenance (adding subtitles, converting some movies that are still in blueray or dvd iso) and in total some 100TB. A lot of it is lower quality, working on improving that

Edit: it's a huge amount of work and money and I'm only doing it as a sort of hobby since netix turned to shit. Give me one provider that can show me everything from every country, whenever I want, on whatever devit I want, no gro blocking, no ad bullshit, and I'd happily pay twice, three times the amount I do now. But here we are, and here is my collection because half the shit I have can't be watched anywhere else. Fuck the enshitification

Tree fiddy.

I have no collection whatsoever. Everything that I watched gets deleted from the seedbox. A maximum of 900GB are stored on there at any given time. It’s cheap and no hassle to maintain.

7 TiB and growing

Just over a terabyte spread over two drives not including whatever I put in my backup.

As big as whatever I'm consuming hasn't been consumed yet or reached 3.0 ratio.

I don't have one lol

Rougly 3TB of TV shows (720p) and films (1080p, x265 at around 4mbps that I ripped myself including the subs and multiple language tracks), as well as about 500GB of music (FLAC) most of it from my physical library.

765 movies (~4.5 TB)

161 tv series (~7.2 TB)

About a year ago 6TB storage was no longer cutting it since I was constantly having to hunt for media to delete or downgrade quality in order to make more room. I bought five 14TB drives and put them in a big zfs pool so I don't have to do that anymore.

• About 1,400 movies: 6.7TB
• About 15,100 episodes: 10.9TB

Spread across a couple of NASes, each with 4 x 4TB drives in RAID5.

I have about 24TB, lots of stuff backed up over many years, and not all of it pirated. In making backups over such a long period of time, I've actually managed to make redundant backups, so a recent project of mine is to just go to my NAS and organize, consolidate, and otherwise delete things I don't actually wish to keep. I've saved a couple TBs and I hope to free up a few more TBs.

I have an entire series of Breaking Bad and that alone is almost 100GB and 320GB+ of anime also another 200GB if you count games all store in an external 1TB hard drive and that's puny compared to other people collection I saw online

Going on 6Tb of movies and tv

I don't keep any TV series after I watch them, unless someone else with access to my Jellyfin wants to watch too. So my collection is relatively small at a few terabytes.

40GiB of game ROMs of all sorts. A ton of snes/megadrive oldies, some PS1 stuff.

Now I want to expand to Wii and Gamecube...

42TiB (I managed to get about 5TiB back by defining remux to be lower quality as "normal" releases in the arr* apps 😎) Now I can finally add more media

well this is my current music library all together in a WinAMP Playlist

TV folder is 6.66tb, Movie folder is 1.84tb, Music is 600gb

1,2Tb stored on M-Discs

Mostly GoPro videos , memes and books

About 9tb. 100 days worth of music, 300 or so shows and over 1000 movies. Just recently started to get /convert everything to 1080p.

About 8GiB thumb drive. I don't hang on to much

Like 50GB of music, probably about 30gb of shows. though I only started downloading shows very recently, like earlier this year.

Two 8TB drives. One has 1272 movies at 7.14TB and the other 252 shows/15571 episodes at 7.11TB

7 TB in music, tv and movies
Dunno how much is what.
Recently uograded from a single 7TB HDD to a 4x16TB NAS in RaidZ2

Mostly games. Maybe 30 ish GB, probably an understatement but I don't have that much storage

With just shows in general, I have a fair amount. Don't know the exact amount of cartoons, but I got a 1TB external drive almost full of them, a single live actions show from the 90s, a single live action movie, a few animated films, and a whole comic set. As for games, I don't count by size, nor do I know how many since they're not stored on a drive. I specifically got a 2TB external drive (both drives Seagate) for if I ever find more shows/whatever I wanna collect, but I have yet to find something I desperately want.

That, and I still need to use it to back up files so I can switch operating systems on my desktop.

Edit:

No idea how much music I've downloaded from yt using things like NewPipe, but I got a good amount. I'd assume this counts as piracy too, since I'm certain the people in charge of the music industry don't like you being able to do that.

6TiB, backed up to the cloud. So 12TiB in total

I do the same. I have 500GiB storage for my Pi4, which I use for torrenting and Kodi. I delete stuff if I watched it and it reaches 2:1 seed ratio, or after a couple of months. So in a way I don't really have a collection.

1,200 movies
200 shows
Smattering of books and a few GBs of music
Oh and every game for every console older than the PS2

Originally across multiple 4tb external drives but been mostly pushed to one nas 8tb drive in my case.

Not big, but I have a few degenerate hoarding friends I mooch off of
