Stop with all the watching (and to a lesser extent listening) and start reading and hoarding books instead. 99% of downloaded content you will never read, but at 0.5~4.0Mb per book just two cheap, but RAIDed with ZFS for safety, 1Tb 3.5" HDDs will last you a lifetime. And that's before turning any kind of compression on!

If I might add, hoarding physical books is also a worthwhile hobby.

I've already downloaded all the books. Now the challenge is indexing and sorting them.
