If the internet went away indefinitely, what things would you wish you had downloaded before it happened? (lemmy.ml)

For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO's, and a lot of entertainment media.

Man I have never thought about it because of feeling so at ease with the digital video game stores and just downloading what I want whenever I want without keeping a physical library that would take up space. Same with books.

If the internet died tomorrow, I would have the stuff I'm playing or reading or watching downloaded but I would be out of luck for anything else until it came back. Maybe it's time to start a backup, get a big HDD or something
