What are using to stream? What is the 1T server - is it a NAS drive? I would think that you should be able to access FLAC files on your network irrespective of whether or not your ISP down.  I have done it with BluOS and JRiver.

Not enough info here to be able to help. What device is being used for "streaming" that cannot also pull from a local server on the local network to play FLAC??  (or any local music file types). You can play local files from a computer, tablet, phone, or a dedicated hardware player such as most every streaming device. Many receivers these days can also pull files from a location such as a server or thumb drive. I've been very happy with the Bluesound Node and it's user friendly for most anyone. Most similar players would also solve the issue.

1T = one terabyte.

2T = two terabytes.

Tidal allows downloads. Once you download and have Tidal software installed, you'll be able to play downloaded songs/tunes. It's all tied up to the license terms of the installed software and must be current.

Enjoy listening and start downloading what you might want to listen again.
