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?

    My ISP recently gave us notice of an extended period of planned downtime so I already gave this some thought.

    yt-dlp is a godsend, especially if you reduce the quality. I just set it going on an old playlist for some YouTubers I enjoy. You can find a lot of old comedy on YouTube too which tends to be in playlists.

    Other than that, none of classic Doctor Who is HD so doesn’t take up too much space. BBC iPlayer works with yt-dlp too with the right settings.
