    Hmm, alltogether I have about 450GB of files, half of that is from a eMule/Rapidshare/Megaupload rampage this week alone. 95% is old console ISOs waiting to be comprehensively examined and if worthy archived to data tapes.

    I`ve probably got like 2 binders full of burned films, about 300 burned games for various platroms ps2/xbox/dc/emulators aswell as the data, I kind of meant active folders but it`s interesting to hear what everyone has.

    64 gigabytes in my "downloads" folder. 44 gigabytes of it are miscellaneous torrents, and 15 of it is music. I never even use most of it (well, the music I do), but it just sits around and takes up space.

    Voted for 100gb+ because until yesterday when my big external (eSata! which is a Great idea) 500gb Drive came my completed torrents folder was this big. I also have 65gb of music (both ripped and downloaded), 337gb of downloaded films/tv and 250gb of recorded Tv from media center (this was around 300 before I had a clear out too!)
    I have far too much storage - I got fed up of the days when I had to delete things so just keep buying hard disks now - My PC started one year ago with 400GB, which I've now increased to 1.5TB

    I have around 70gb of music, some films and comics (can't wait until they arrive to my shop and I usually forget to delete them after I have my own copy) and software for the PC.

    I used to back everything up on dvd and thought about getting a 500GB HDD but then realised most of the tv i`ll never watch again. I wish i had saved some of the rarer films though, its mad that there are rare torrents as hard to find to download as it is to buy.

    Hard to say for me. I'll have to do some checking.

    About 20 gigs of stuff I download (Mainly music and pictures) is on my PC at all times. I do download various mods and so on for Morrowind and Dawn of War, but most of them are kind of small, except the full race mods for DoW and the Monster increasers of Morrowind. Still about ~1.5~ gigs there, and I uninstalled a lot of old mods yesterday.

    Now, for things I back up on DVDs and CD's I'd wager I have around ~50~ gigs of downloaded anime (most of the anime I downloaded, such as the Digimon seasons, didn't come out in retail. In the US anyway.)

    I've done the torrent thing, too. In fact, I think I even got Morrowind from a torrent. It was posted on another site I go to, so I got it, because I wanted to try it with mods. I owned the Xbox version prior to that, and still have it. Its one of those games that never really ages, imo.

    I'd say all in all, I probably have downloaded around 75 gigs worth of stuff. Would probably be more if our service provider didn't have a 10 gig a month download limit, though.

    Before a clearout a couple of days ago I was at about 120GB in TV, Movies and Music.

    Then there was about the same in pron which has been downloaded mostly out of bordom, habit (aquired during single days) or to pass on to people so as not to waste my bandwidth.

    On a related note, how do people track what they backup? I use Whereisit? to keep track of what's on my DVD's and have found it really useful.
