I have no library as of right now, I want to know the ultimate best way to start a MASSIVE library, how to download it, and how to transport it from gig to gig. Thanks

best way to start a MASSIVE library

Invest time and money in listening to tracks and buying the ones you like. There's your start. The more time and money you invest, the more MASSIVE your library will get.
Or if you don't particularly care about the quality of the library, but more about how MASSIVE it is, join a record pool.

The real question is why would you want a massive library?

I am always trying to trim mine down and getting rid of stuff I don't use.

Reason being, I'll be spinning different genres I basically want to have any song there in the library weather its hip hop, electro, dubstep ect.

Your best bet is quality over quantity. Dont just download tracks for the sake of it. As a DJ your job is to act as a filter for music, It's down to your taste and thats what defines you as a performer. Just put effort into looking for music and downloading tracks as you find them. Your music collection can be however big you like, you'll still only be playing for probably 1-2h in front of a crowd.

Any tips on getting high quality music files?

buy them? most of the popular download sites will sell sell .wavs and all of them sell 320kbit mp3s

Yeah don't focus on getting a huge library. Learn the songs that you have. It will make your job so much easier.

it takes years to collect a decent amount of good tunes. especially if you´re gonna concentrate on several genres. take your time, get to know the tunes you have and don´t get yourself in a rush!
