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.

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

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...)

55TB

3,500 movies, 28,000 TV show episodes, 120,000 audio tracks, and pretty much every single PlayStation/Sega/Nintendo game ever released.

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

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

7 inches

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

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

At least 0 bytes

It's pretty tiny, but as long as you're happy that's the main thing. My colleague at work is a sysadmin by thread so built a server with all the bells and whistles, then put it online and opened it to some friends and family. I forget the size but we're talking somewhere near 100 Tb easy. I find it a bit excessive, if you ask me :P

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

About 12 tb. 3 12 tb hdds, raid 5. Run arr suite, qbittorrent, jellyfin, and some non piracy related things. I should get a proper backup, but money.

I don't have one lol

Tree fiddy.

About 8.5TB of tv shows and movies.

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

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.

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

115,000 songs. Mostly FLAC. Comes out to 3.5TB

another 18tb of video on the NAS

Going on 6Tb of movies and tv

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.

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.

1,2Tb stored on M-Discs

Mostly GoPro videos , memes and books

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

download movie -> watch movie -> seed it for a while, at least some days -> delete

I have like 10 movies saved for archival, because it was hard to find them

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