Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I’m mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.
I sort of regretted downloading massive rom packs for retro consoles because I never actually get round to playing them. it’s so hard to settle on one when there’s so much choice. But now with the recent crack downs on ROM sites I’m really glad I’ve preserved them. Hoard away friend!
I’ve done that with the Sharp X68000, I’ve downloaded the entire collection it has (~18GB). Do I know Japanese? No. Have I even checked if an emulator works with them? Also no. But it’s there
I downloaded the entire SNES catalogue when I was overseas; so glad I did that then as it’s become much more difficult over the past few years.
II recently tried to download ISOs of my PS1 & 2 collections so that I could play them on my Steam Deck, and found out that at it’s actually a lot faster and easier just to to them myself - as whatever sources I can find are either dead links, or download so slowly that the connection is likely to time out before the download completes.

Roms don’t count!

18gb is nothing at the end of the day. Roms are small. It’s the same thing with my 50gib font collection, its a lot of fonts, but little file size
