Lots of anime. Some cherished games. I feel like i don't need a while lot of porn. Maybe those 5-6 vids that I currently frequent. That will probably get me through. Other than that; House; maybe all of Stargate but prob would never get to it; HBO watchmen series is totally rewatchable and would probably grab the movie too; bunch of misc horror films; all of law and order. Probably missed some stuff but the biggest loss would be all the new stuff that won't be released.

I did all of Stargate some 15 years ago. I feel a lot of nostalgia for it. If you never went through it all - definitively get that on your 100GB.
It's probably been 15 years since I watched them all. I just don't imagine I'd get that bored in just 5 years.
1/10th of a Call of Duty game.
Just find 9 more people and then y'all can meet up and play the game.
I wouldn't be too worried. If the internet stops being a thing, we'll just go back to physical media. I imagine there will be huge data storages that sell USBs and DVDs containing specific data people are looking for, so any time I'd want to watch a movie or something I would go to my network of friends and start copying.
Also known as the 90s
Dear OP’s world government, chop chop
- personnal files that are stored in the Cloud
- Wikipedia
- Linux and Raspberry ISO, and some libs/tools packages, sources and docs
- sandbox games and rogue likes
- wiki for these games
- as much porn as I can download with the remaining storage available
Unless it's a fascist government, I don't care about ebooks, mp3, movies or TV show. I'll use books, vinyls and DVD.
DVDs are digital storage though, so wouldn't they count for the 100 GB limit? I mean otherwise I could just burn a ton of media to bluray discs and be golden
I wasn't thinking of writable DVDs, but factory pressed ones. They are digital, but their use is comparable to vinyl or books.
A collection of older and therefore smaller games. A bunch of music in mp3 (or maybe something like AAC or OPUS). A bunch of ebooks. A handful of my favorite TV shows and/or movies heavily recompressed, like maybe 720p.

Sounds like a good chance to catch up with my backlog of games.
I would check so I can play everything I want offline then just get as much as I can.
Lines of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" in any format that can fill up 100GB.
Email/PM everyone I'm in contact with online and ask them for their current phone numbers and addresses, and send them mine. Subscribe to 2-3 local and regional newspapers, and one good national or international one.
Offline contact info for every place I do business with online, and scrape a list of all businesses within 20 miles of home or work. Offline contact info for all the government agencies I or family or friends may need to contact for the next five years. Offline contact info for every local, state, or federal official who supposedly represents me, my family or friends.
A full listing of all my online accounts, with full transaction histories. Copies of all Terms of Service and privacy policies, copies of all warranty, repair and refund policies.
Phone numbers of my favorite restaurants and copies of their current menus. Phone numbers, addresses, visitor information, prices and (where applicable) attraction information for all museums, parks and other attractions in my area.
All my archived email or stored files that's still on a server somewhere. Copies of every single bookmark on every device I have. And copies of every story on AO3.
Personal medias, Wikipedia, LLM models, good for searching without net innacurate but better than nothing. Instruction how to setup alternative to internet, good chance there is going to be an underground version. Sms contact list of all your friends/families, did not say sms no longer available. Games, eBooks like electrical, health, laws and programming.
I already have 30GB of math textbooks, I guess I'll just download another 70GB of textbooks on various subjects and sell them to students. Y'all gonna return after 5 years to a new Elsevier.
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.
Wikipedia
If you were smart about it and had time to prepare, you could find a way to restrict the size of the Wikipedia download by eliminating things that are likely to also be in print books and therefore much less important to preserve. It might have to involve some sort of machine learning element.

Sorry, but i feel like i have been preparing for this for the last 15 years now. I won't answer the question because I already have 40tb worth of content on my personal NAS. From movies, TV shows, music, and video games, I think I will be good for some time living off of just that. I also have all my docs, and personal pics as well.
Since I live in an area where power goes out a lot and internet can go down once or twice a year (not long but maybe up to 6 hours, worst case) it's already been a great solution that I was able to try out during those events.
Lots of tools and games that are open ended and not contrived as well as the obligatory Wikipedia download.
With the stipulation that it's 100GB total and not on top of what I already have, then the question is not what I would download, but rather which of my family photos/videos I'm okay with losing.
Wasn't there a Uni project a few years back trying to summarize key civilization building concepts - like basic agriculture, tool making, shelter making, that sort of thing. Because whatever society described by OP is going to have serious problems.
Well I mean, one could argue our world is already too addicted to the internet. The only difference is we don't have an authoritarian world government that wants to do something about it.
Books. Small games (ROMs or not). Ubuntu (Debian doesn't come with a working desktop). Compress my music collection to AAC192. Stuff like that.
An LLM pointed at a local copy of Wikipedia, and every book I can get my hands on. I already have hundreds of music CDs, and a couple dozen vinyl records, so I'm good for music.

ROMs
A 100GB of ROMs
I have a library card and they have plenty bluerays and audiobooks there. I think I'd download all Debian packages and maybe some pornography? Because that seems to be missing in the city library for some reason.
