PSA: Download on your hard drives, never trust online hosting. (sh.itjust.works)

TLDR: Download your content offline before it gets lost forever.

From now on you should never trust online hosting, I started seeing a lot of piracy sources( Streaming websites, torrent indexes,.. Etc) get shut down.

So I highly recommend for all pirates to download anything they want offline to reuse and don't trust keeping it online, sadly for me, a lot of material had been lost as there is almost no online service or piracy service has it( I am talking about material that is 5-10 years old.).

I know that this is not the first time piracy websites/hosts gets taken down but this time feels different as it became aggressive and I feel that in the next months a considerable amount of content are going to be lost.

Diskprices is great for comparing price per terabyte across different brands.

I just buy all my stuff on newegg. Decent 12 TB drives are going for around $250 to $300 right now.
