Lets say you live in a world where the world government has decided people are getting too addicted to the internet and ordered the internet to be shut down for 5 years. The 100 GB of storage is all you have (excluding essential system files for your Operating System). You have 24 hours before the internet is getting shut down. What do you download?

Lol bootleg internet?

I think I head about some place where people actually have a bootleg internet due to government censorship. Forgot where I heard about it.
