I'd replace kernel sources with a full Linux distribution (unless this is already part of "essential system files")
And some Stallman memes for good measure

Is it 100 GB in addition to what I already have saved or 100 GB of total storage? Because if it's 100 GB of total storage then I wouldn't be thinking about downloading, I'll be thinking about what I want to keep.
100GB is ridiculously low nowadays. I don't think I have a single device in regular use (including my phone) with such small storage.
Just my picture archive (that is, pictures I took since I got mit first digital camera) is about 400GB.
But without such a low storage limit, this wouldn't be a fun question. The point is to really think about what files we cherish and what are we okay with losing access to (for at least 5 years).

Total storage. If you have more, government agents might randonly burst in and confiscate excess storage. 😉
First thing would be to seriously look into data compression, and live with heavily lossy-compressed media (my music collection would be ring-fenced though). Throw out backups of physical media (take the chance on disc-rot); I guess any backups wouldn't be possible in this universe anyway so it will all be left to chance. And then see what's left.

Can I assume that things like movies, TV, and games will still be available in physical form? If so, the Wikipedia backup is the obvious answer

Guides how to create my own little internet with other people, 7zip and 99GB of RAM.
Lol bootleg internet?
I think I head about some place where people actually have a bootleg internet due to government censorship. Forgot where I heard about it.
Sounds like a cyberpunk trope.
Nothing, because the rest of the world is trying to do the same thing and the internet is now essentially DDoSed into oblivion 24 hours early.
I wouldn't be too worried. If the internet stops being a thing, we'll just go back to physical media. I imagine there will be huge data storages that sell USBs and DVDs containing specific data people are looking for, so any time I'd want to watch a movie or something I would go to my network of friends and start copying.

Download factorio and dwarf fortress
A few years ago I was living in fear of local government turning internet into intranet north korea-style (dont ask). So - no joke - I've had factorio archived with latest versions of seablock, space exploration and nullius. Figured it'll keep me going for a decade or so.

100GB?? I'd be more worried about WTF will happen to the rest of my 100TB of storage
Confiscated by order of the benevolent United Nations world government.
You are being liberated from the Internet Opium, do not resist.
The internet is going down for 5 years? Books and video instructions about farming prolly, I'll probably be unemployed if there's no Internet.
100 GB
looks at my nas, already stuffed with several TB of content, chuckling
Some panic, while others were ready since the dawn of time. I'll add that extra 100 gigs to my drive collection though...
(it's lots of games, media, and yiff. And yeah, it is enough to hold me over for 5 years. No, you can't see it. :p)
You didn't read the post. You're going to be spending all of your time deleting your content because you only have 100 GB's total.
I have a library card and they have plenty bluerays and audiobooks there. I think I'd download all Debian packages and maybe some pornography? Because that seems to be missing in the city library for some reason.
Books. Small games (ROMs or not). Ubuntu (Debian doesn't come with a working desktop). Compress my music collection to AAC192. Stuff like that.
1/10th of a Call of Duty game.
Just find 9 more people and then y'all can meet up and play the game.
Sorry, but i feel like i have been preparing for this for the last 15 years now. I won't answer the question because I already have 40tb worth of content on my personal NAS. From movies, TV shows, music, and video games, I think I will be good for some time living off of just that. I also have all my docs, and personal pics as well.
Since I live in an area where power goes out a lot and internet can go down once or twice a year (not long but maybe up to 6 hours, worst case) it's already been a great solution that I was able to try out during those events.
SneakerNet will still exist, so your friends can download different stuff each and transfer it over a local network, or a flash drive. Different people might connect their own local networks to facilitate ease of communication, and boom, you have an internet again. By its very nature of being decentralised, the internet is very difficult to shut down completely.
ROMs
A 100GB of ROMs
With the stipulation that it's 100GB total and not on top of what I already have, then the question is not what I would download, but rather which of my family photos/videos I'm okay with losing.
Wikipedia and a lot of games. A bunch of programming tools and libraries. My Spotify playlist. Video is the least efficient so you'd have to limit that a lot.

A collection of older and therefore smaller games. A bunch of music in mp3 (or maybe something like AAC or OPUS). A bunch of ebooks. A handful of my favorite TV shows and/or movies heavily recompressed, like maybe 720p.

An LLM pointed at a local copy of Wikipedia, and every book I can get my hands on. I already have hundreds of music CDs, and a couple dozen vinyl records, so I'm good for music.
