You can say size, just say it's all old public domain stuff like mine is.
I converted all my DVD's so I can watch them more easily.
Came here to say the same thing.

Thats about a few days worth of downloads for me. Over 150tb raw 80 tb used
Damn...got a rack server full of drives?
Nowadays thats less than 10 drives. I literally just ordered 10 20 tb drives to fill my second nas.
I have two synolygy 1019+ with ds 517 expansion units. That 10 drives for each set. Technically i could set that up to have about 400 tb usable.
I buy factory recertified drives for about 200 ea. with a couple spares.yea its a chunk of change but not too crazy.
I have multiple friends with more than a pb.
have you ran into any issues with the reconditioned drives? the thought has never set easy with me
Been running factory refurbished. Thats the important part. It must say factory refurbs. Ive had one failure in 5-6 years and was warranty replaced
4451 movies
398 series / 36130 episodes
Taking up 25.48tb after conversion to HEVC compressing it ~40%
Every series is monitored for new episodes which download automatically; and there's a dozen or so public IMDB lists being monitored for new movies from studios/categories I like. Anything added to the lists gets downloaded automatically.
Then there's Ombi gathering media requests from my friends/family to be passed to sonarr/radarr and downloaded.
At this point, the library continuously grows on its own, and I have to do little more than just tell it what I want to watch.
What's your process for recoding? I'm nearing 120tb used space and would like to re-encode some of the stuff my *arr stack grabbed before I got my profiles tuned in.
I used to use the built in convert options in Emby server, but recently switched to Tdarr to manage all my conversions. It's got far more control/configurablity to encode your files exactly how you'd like.
It can also 'health check' files by transcoding them, but not saving the output; checking for errors during that process to ensure the file can actually be played through successfully. With 41k+ files to manage, that made it much easier to find and replace the dozen or so broken files I had, before I found them by trying to play them.
Fore warning; this is a long and intensive process. Converting my entire library to HEVC using an RTX 2080 took me over 2 months non-stop. (not including health checks)

128TiB, which is about 3k movies with I think 20+ shows. Some of the files are over 100GiB though.
Are you remux fan? 😂
Just to be clear: if Netflix would have high quality versions of ALL movies and series and now the bullshit it's turning into, I would never Pirate. Too much trouble, too much work, too expensive. Netflix would be could be easy but instead it's getting shittier by the minute.
Don't get me started on Amazon or disney
55TB
3,500 movies, 28,000 TV show episodes, 120,000 audio tracks, and pretty much every single PlayStation/Sega/Nintendo game ever released.
I aspire to have enough storage to do that someday.
These are some low bitrate movies. Mine is probably at least 10x that size but nowhere close 10x the content.
Yes, I have little bandwidth so I always download low bitrate ones.
Much, much larger.
About 14TB. Which reminds me, gonna need a new drive to drop in the NAS soon.
Tree fiddy.
Around 16 TiB and I keep 3 copies of everything so 48 TiB used of around 65TiB. I encoded all my TV shows and most of my movies with AV1 and keep most of my files compressed, which saves a bunch of space so hopefully I won't need more drives any time soon
Over 2500 movies and over 200 series. There is a lot of todo maintenance (adding subtitles, converting some movies that are still in blueray or dvd iso) and in total some 100TB. A lot of it is lower quality, working on improving that
Edit: it's a huge amount of work and money and I'm only doing it as a sort of hobby since netix turned to shit. Give me one provider that can show me everything from every country, whenever I want, on whatever devit I want, no gro blocking, no ad bullshit, and I'd happily pay twice, three times the amount I do now. But here we are, and here is my collection because half the shit I have can't be watched anywhere else. Fuck the enshitification

It's pretty tiny, but as long as you're happy that's the main thing. My colleague at work is a sysadmin by thread so built a server with all the bells and whistles, then put it online and opened it to some friends and family. I forget the size but we're talking somewhere near 100 Tb easy. I find it a bit excessive, if you ask me :P
Round 30TB between music/tv/film/stand-up/books/comics/applications.
About 12 tb. 3 12 tb hdds, raid 5. Run arr suite, qbittorrent, jellyfin, and some non piracy related things. I should get a proper backup, but money.
I don't have one lol
I have no collection whatsoever. Everything that I watched gets deleted from the seedbox. A maximum of 900GB are stored on there at any given time. It’s cheap and no hassle to maintain.
Going on 6Tb of movies and tv
As big as whatever I'm consuming hasn't been consumed yet or reached 3.0 ratio.
1,2Tb stored on M-Discs
Mostly GoPro videos , memes and books
7 TiB and growing
- About 1,400 movies: 6.7TB
- About 15,100 episodes: 10.9TB
Spread across a couple of NASes, each with 4 x 4TB drives in RAID5.
Just over a terabyte spread over two drives not including whatever I put in my backup.
Rougly 3TB of TV shows (720p) and films (1080p, x265 at around 4mbps that I ripped myself including the subs and multiple language tracks), as well as about 500GB of music (FLAC) most of it from my physical library.
About 8.5TB of tv shows and movies.
765 movies (~4.5 TB)
161 tv series (~7.2 TB)
About a year ago 6TB storage was no longer cutting it since I was constantly having to hunt for media to delete or downgrade quality in order to make more room. I bought five 14TB drives and put them in a big zfs pool so I don't have to do that anymore.
I have about 24TB, lots of stuff backed up over many years, and not all of it pirated. In making backups over such a long period of time, I've actually managed to make redundant backups, so a recent project of mine is to just go to my NAS and organize, consolidate, and otherwise delete things I don't actually wish to keep. I've saved a couple TBs and I hope to free up a few more TBs.
3TB most of it from Kemono or anime piracy.
download movie -> watch movie -> seed it for a while, at least some days -> delete
I have like 10 movies saved for archival, because it was hard to find them
About 9tb. 100 days worth of music, 300 or so shows and over 1000 movies. Just recently started to get /convert everything to 1080p.
1,200 movies
200 shows
Smattering of books and a few GBs of music
Oh and every game for every console older than the PS2
Originally across multiple 4tb external drives but been mostly pushed to one nas 8tb drive in my case.
I don't keep any TV series after I watch them, unless someone else with access to my Jellyfin wants to watch too. So my collection is relatively small at a few terabytes.
