Prosecutor Simon Denison said evidence showed Khan had a "deep commitment to and involvement in violent jihad". Judge Timothy Pontius said they had not been convicted of planning a specific attack.
This included "inciting others to take part in it and arranging for himself and others to attend military training in Pakistan in preparation for going to fight and, inevitably, to kill". But he said the material was "amongst the largest and most extensive ever discovered and thus makes this case one of the most serious of its type to come before the courts".
He said all the men had amassed computers, CDs and books that "were the necessary tools of their trade, possessed to be used in furtherance of that violent cause". 'Assist terrorism'
Two people in the public gallery had to be escorted out by court staff after the sentences were handed down. One was shouting and the other was visibly upset. Much of the material could be described as "offensive propaganda", he said, which gave an insight into people's "fanatical beliefs".
But he said there was a "huge quantity" of material which had precise instructions on how to carry out terrorist activity.
"It is that material ... which was possessed by you for a specific intention, to be used in due course to provide practical assistance in terrorist activity," he said.
This included computer files and manuals about acetone - a component of explosives - and how to make napalm.
Judge Pontius added: "Perhaps most chillingly of all was the vest folder demonstrating in careful, methodical and lethal detail the step-by-step instructions of how to make a suicide bombers' vest or belt packed with ball bearings and explosives."
Khan had addresses of 15 members of the royal family
Twice-married Khan had developed an all-consuming hatred of non-Muslims, the court had previously heard.
The three-month trial heard that when he was stopped at Manchester airport, police found the largest cyber "encyclopaedia" of articles promoting terrorism yet seized in Britain in his luggage.
It included personal information and the addresses of 15 members of the royal family, among them the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
The defendants had used defences of "hoarding", "curiosity" and that the material "belonged to others" to explain the finds.
Khan's father, Sabir, had to be forced from court by security officials as the judge passed sentence after accusing him of being "anti-Muslim" and indulging in "hype".
He punched a reporter to the floor when he was asked his name when he got outside.
