Do you keep them on your HDD or back them up to DVD?

I think the main issue is the seeding as you need to get 1:1 ratio (if you can) so that can take a few days/weeks on some titles.

I'm gonna start backing my up on DVD as my 300gb is getting full now.

I have a sepreate box down stair for seeding so thats not a problem plus servers but when I get the stuff onto my PC I usually keep as much in the way of TV series on my pc backing it up on DVD and all the rest eg games, programs, movies etc I burn to DVD.

I mean another machine that I use for downloading, that is on all the time in this case a mac mini, running azureus.

I have 4 500 GB WD HDD's. They are selling for $174 a piece right now, excellent deal. One is for 1080 HD video, one is for music, one is for DVD's and the other is for everything else. The OS runs off of a 300 GB WD as well for a total of 2.3 TB.

I just have them on my HDD, but since I mostly download music, they're also backed up on my iPod.

I store em on my hd. I can ussually keep em on disk for a year or so before I have to make backups. (Last time I burned data I used 3,000 CDR and 600 DVDR)
