TLDR: Download your content offline before it gets lost forever.

From now on you should never trust online hosting, I started seeing a lot of piracy sources( Streaming websites, torrent indexes,.. Etc) get shut down.

So I highly recommend for all pirates to download anything they want offline to reuse and don't trust keeping it online, sadly for me, a lot of material had been lost as there is almost no online service or piracy service has it( I am talking about material that is 5-10 years old.).

I know that this is not the first time piracy websites/hosts gets taken down but this time feels different as it became aggressive and I feel that in the next months a considerable amount of content are going to be lost.

I'm not sure, but I can say with certainty that increasing temps to 80C with 85% RH isn't any kind of demonstrable way of accurately predicting longevity under realistic conditions.

If I wanted to safety test a car, it would make sense to run a series of conventional car crashes. It wouldn't make sense to drive the car off a cliff and then claim that during testing, the car was proven to be unsafe.

I agree with a lot of other points. Personally, I just find it works better in my brain to have all media (TV shows, eBooks, movies, and music) organized on discs. Same goes with personal photos and videos. For certain things, I keep copies on my PC like photos and music, but for other things that I don't access frequently, I prefer to have them on discs. That said, I do have a HDD backup of everything. I'd love to get another large HDD but just can't justify the $$$.
