Yup, but it depends on the resolution.
Most full movies are +/- 750 MB at 512 x 384 resolution. Or they're broken into 2 or more CDs if a higher resolution (like 640 x 480) - each CD is 750MB. (That always bothered me - the max storage for any CD is 700 MB. Why make a "CD" that can't be stored on a CD?)
I was going to download a hi-def movie, but decided against it when I realized it was comprised of twelve 400 MB rar files (4.4 GB total!) A true DVD rip, as you mentioned.
With HD now, I've download single
scenes that are over 700 MB.
Going back to the O.P., though - which is unnecessary, since he hasn't posted in four years - the best solution now is to use an external hard drive.
As far as 20 GB being "a lot" of porn; hell - I've got 20 GB of downloaded porn I haven't even
watched yet.
