(rhetorical question--I don't really expect anyone to post a full, honest and detailed download list of what they have on their computers)
No problem. Here is the most recent.
I am hosting PFF CD2 on my computer. When I started it took around a month to get it from whoever was kind enough to host it, since then myself and several others have made sure it as available 24/7, you should be able to get it in a few minutes now.
Years ago I purchased a game, GT Legends. It came on 4 disks which I still have. (I can post a picture if you like) For some reason an update in Windows caused the security software in the game to make the game not work anymore. Since the game is a few years old the company that made it has no reason to fix it. I downloaded a "cracked" version meaning the security was removed so I can play again.
I also recently downloaded Ubuntu through a torrent.

It's not all about pirating man.

Operative word being "all". I know people who hardly (if that) have a single piece of "legally purchased" (by them) software on their machines, including their operating systems-----and they both brag about it and are proud of it. Stealing (for many) truly is the new working.

Right, there are people that rape, murder, and steal. Every one of us is equipped to do these things, but not everyone does.
You can't think the worst of everyone that has a penis just because a few people rape with them.
It's like someone hating all Police officers because a few of them are bad.

My point was more that there are far more things that a person would want on your PC than low quality 'captures' from YouTube. Now here personally, except for some music videos from perhaps 3 bands, i have almost no video files anywhere.. ( or is that not the question you were asking )
I agree with you that stealing is wrong, too bad we disagree what constitutes theft. ( don't worry, not going down that worn out path again, just poking a bit of fun at it )
From The Pirate Bay site. Seems like they're taking to the skies with their servers. I just wonder how they intend on keeping these things powered all the time.

TPB LOSS
We were down a few hours earlier today. There's no need to worry, we haven't been raided this time. We're only upgrading stuff since we're still growing.
One of the technical things we always optimize is where to put our front machines. They are the ones that re-direct your traffic to a secret location. We have now decided to try to build something extraordinary.
With the development of GPS controlled drones, far-reaching cheap radio equipment and tiny new computers like the Raspberry Pi, we're going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air. This way our machines will have to be shut down with aeroplanes in order to shut down the system. A real act of war.
We're just starting so we haven't figured everything out yet. But we can't limit ourselves to hosting things just on land anymore. These Low Orbit Server Stations (LOSS) are just the first attempt. With modern radio transmitters we can get over 100Mbps per node up to 50km away. For the proxy system we're building, that's more than enough.
But when time comes we will host in all parts of the galaxy, being true to our slogan of being the galaxy's most resilient system. And all of the parts we'll use to build that system on will be downloadable.

Solar? And i don't expect this to actually happen, its more of a pie in the sky ( no pun intended ) idea. Sounds great on paper, but implementing is going to be far more difficult than they think.
The only long term answer is to go 100% darknet. Anything less can be tracked down and eradicated. They also will have to stop hosting ads for revenue as that is traceable too.
