If the internet went away indefinitely, what things would you wish you had downloaded before it happened?

For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO’s, and a lot of entertainment media.

Depends on how up-to-date your install image is. If you downloaded the ISO 6 months ago, chances are, the build you downloaded is out of date (doubly so if it’s Arch). Most installers have an online option that will download the updates and install the newest version, but if you don’t have access to the internet, then all you have is the data included in the ISO that you got 6 months ago.
