Why do you need 30TB? You can always download again if you need to watch again.

Many countries outside of the US don't have unlimited[0] bandwidth ISPs. So downloading again and again is not feasible everywhere. 0. US ISPs are capped but in the TB range so most people never reach the cap.

  and you don't need bandwidth for netflix?

  Citation for [0]? I've even read the fine print for my current ISP here in the US. Unless you mean cap as in it's not possible to download more than that per month because your download speed is too low.

    You can see some ISPs at the bottom of this page[0] with caps like Xfinity and CenturyLink. Although it seems like they are soft caps and don't penalize unless you exceed the cap every month. 0. https://www.cnet.com/home/internet/best-internet-providers-with-no-data-caps/ https://www.cnet.com/home/internet/best-internet-providers-w...

not always true for niche content.

Clearly you've never found a torrent that has exactly what you want, but zero seeders.

  On the rare occasion? Sure. Certainly not near 30TB of them.

Then I guess you only watch extremely popular stuff? It's easy to get stuck trying to find moderately successful shows or games from the 90s. Kenan & Kel was a gigantic pain to find. I'm never going to delete that.

UK internet is kinda pants, you can stream 4k on netflix no issues but try streaming from a pirate site or service like popcorntime and you will be kicked back to standard definition and have a lot of buffering to deal with. In the UK sites like the pirate bay get censored, there are mirrors but they too get censored. Once you find a site you can easily get US content like the US version of the office but the UK version of the office will be harder to find. You can buy 30TB of spinning disk for ~£600 which is a fair chunk of money but for comparison my 100mbit internet costs £300 a year. To get all your content instantly in one place in hd with no buffering I would say its worth it.
