I personally store all my downloaded stuff on a 3TB hard drive which is constantly connected to my laptop to rack up those seed points. It's getting full though so I'll most likely be investing in another one soon and getting a USB hub to have everything running round the clock.

Come to think of it I think we all suffer from some element of hoarding lol.

I used to copy on DVD as well, but that costly, takes time and indeed you never come back to it or rarely and it's harder to find what you want when you get a big collection compare to a HDD.

I do like to keep every series and films. It just stored on a simple HDD, but since I travel with them a lot, so far they never last, and everything is lost, including photos and documents. The last one is just few months old.
