As Tompe wrote, to collect. It's a packrat mentality. I saw it back when people were copying C64 diskettes, I see it with people who download every free 3D model they find, even though they can't even keep track of what they've got, I see it with people who tape movies off cable even though they never find time to watch them. They like HAVING them.
I don't think that describes everybody or every download, but I think it's a lot of what's going on. That's one of the reasons I'm not too worried about darknet traffic.
