Probably all the top huggingface weights, as they are basically the sweetened condensed internet.

The internet is going down for 5 years? Books and video instructions about farming prolly, I'll probably be unemployed if there's no Internet.
Nothing, because the rest of the world is trying to do the same thing and the internet is now essentially DDoSed into oblivion 24 hours early.
Start running wires and make a intranet with my neighbors. WiFi would be easier, but would the internet police be looking for signals?
Would Netflix go back to mailing physical disks? Would I have to go buy albums? Weird. You could buy of borrow the physical media and add it to your intranet.
I'd probably download a couple TV series and some music. I'd also get software to make sure I can copy and store everything.
Wait, the kids are alright potentially
Download factorio and dwarf fortress
A few years ago I was living in fear of local government turning internet into intranet north korea-style (dont ask). So - no joke - I've had factorio archived with latest versions of seablock, space exploration and nullius. Figured it'll keep me going for a decade or so.

5 years? Hm, time to get some stuff from the 90s, when the internet was a timed luxury, so plenty of emulators and roms, they won't take much space. Videos are out, some porn will have to be static pics, some as gifs.
Also, gotta have Factorio, Palworld, dwarf fortress
There used to be a way you could download all of the Wikipedia text as a PDF. I'd pop that bad boy on a Kindle and have my own Hitchhiker's Guide.
Not a .pdf but a .zim that requires its own software to read. And not "it used to", its still possible now, and new versionnare constantly being added.
Google "Kiwix". You have to download the reader software, then the .zim file. It's also cross-platform, available on many platforms, you can even have it on your phone.
Its actually used by various non-profit organizations to spread knowledge in developing/undeveloped countries. The latest version of the entire English wikipedia is like 100GB with photos and audio files, its 50GB with text only.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet:
Project Gutenberg.
It's pretty much all copyright-less (?) books. About 40GB.
I'd probably also torrent a shitton of less-than-legal books. Mostly because they're copyrighted, not because the books themselves are illegal. I would survive the rest of my life on books. Maybe a few GB of music - I'd need some background noise if I were to study.
Some free OS' like Debian and FreeBSD, and their manual. Maybe some magazine about both?
In this thread: dorks using it as an opportunity to brag about their large storage epeens.
But then what happened to my 120 petabyte network attached storage, host to every episode of Inuyasha in multiple releases, languages, and resolutions?! My mother would surely notice having space again in ~~her~~ our basement!
MUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM the router is downnnnnn plz call the internet people
Hard drives is the new [male genitalia] measuring contest? 🤔
This thread suggests that some people certainly think so. I suspect the rest of us disagree.
Well obviously I'd download 100 GBs of more RAM.
But uh, for serious?
DL everything I'd need to build Debian from bare metal... probably some select material from the IA, basic survival stuff, info on how to set up a solar power system... and all the I2P software and source code i can find.
If the Net goes down, but the physical hardware still exists, cables, radios, wifi cards... build your own Net.
Godot, Blender, Gimp, latest tutorial series for all three, Wikipedia (which I already have), music, fill the rest with art assets.
If I can't download games I will simply make them.

I'd download as much 480p TV, movies, etc as possible as quickly as possible.
Oh, I'll get Call of Du... Ah shit it's download didn't finish
The bigger joke is that (IIRC) all of the latest CoD games require a consistent internet connection to verify that you actually purchased the rights to the video game. Even if you're playing offline.
Wikipedia and a lot of games. A bunch of programming tools and libraries. My Spotify playlist. Video is the least efficient so you'd have to limit that a lot.

You should make this a writing prompt
Is there even a "writing prompts" community on Lemmy?
I have a 100% remote job a few hundred km away. Even if you made the exception for remote work, my job would basically be pointless because our company operates entirely in the online world.
I also wouldn't be able to Skype or even email my aging family back in the US.
Also, in very rural Japan, online shopping is a huge saver of time and money. I'd also have to watch OTA Japanese tv which mostly sucks.
I was thinking just various learning materials, but I think you can just shoot me instead sometime before the bank repo's my house
I think in this scenario you just have to pretend we are ok economically, because of the Internet went down entirely, the world economy would completely collapse in a few hours to days.
Is it 100 GB in addition to what I already have saved or 100 GB of total storage? Because if it's 100 GB of total storage then I wouldn't be thinking about downloading, I'll be thinking about what I want to keep.
100GB is ridiculously low nowadays. I don't think I have a single device in regular use (including my phone) with such small storage.
Just my picture archive (that is, pictures I took since I got mit first digital camera) is about 400GB.

I would buy a ton of storage devices as secretly as possible and hide them, hoping the government doesn't notice. Then I'd use the drives to make a sneakernet type situation.
100 GB
looks at my nas, already stuffed with several TB of content, chuckling
Some panic, while others were ready since the dawn of time. I'll add that extra 100 gigs to my drive collection though...
(it's lots of games, media, and yiff. And yeah, it is enough to hold me over for 5 years. No, you can't see it. :p)
You didn't read the post. You're going to be spending all of your time deleting your content because you only have 100 GB's total.
Hah, I've been collecting all my needs offline for a while now. Because companies keep turning to subscriptions and other ##. I'm pretty sure my archive of apps is under 100GB
100GB?? I'd be more worried about WTF will happen to the rest of my 100TB of storage
Confiscated by order of the benevolent United Nations world government.
You are being liberated from the Internet Opium, do not resist.
Can I assume that things like movies, TV, and games will still be available in physical form? If so, the Wikipedia backup is the obvious answer
