There used to be many short, low-res clips out there because of limited storage on hard drives, but I was downloading 700+ MB movies on Kazaa as far back as 1999. It took forever with a 56 kbs modem, but I just let it DL all night.
With technology giving us cable modems, digital cameras and ever-increasing hard drive capacity, though, naturally porn files are getting more abundant and increasingly larger.
Also, Viagra really changed the porn industry. Porn scenes from the 70s , 80s, and early 90s lasted 10-12 minutes. Now, they average 25-35 minutes, with multi-camera editing stretching some to an hour.
Technology is great - my first hard drive was 40 MB. Nowadays, that's a 4-minute avi file at 640 x 480 resolution.
Oh, and
genuinegirly, the O.P. was worried about his mom finding his porn; not his wife.
EDIT LATER: I just saw a couple clips on a favorite porn site that had two 20-minute scenes that were over 900MB each!!! Yikes!!
