I believe Netflix is doing the right thing. If people are downloading that many shows, it stands to prove they are not watching them regularly or they would not be staying at the same number of movies, or TV shows. If and when I download, I plan on watching them in the very near future! Keep up the good work Netflix, I appreciate the fact that I am able to download anything at all, and to be able to watch them offline is a huge plus for me!
Thank you! Definitely disappointing! Why the limitation? Makes it very difficult to watch series from beginning to end! Please review this! Being someone from a place where the only reliable source of internet is a data based connection that is quite costly and want to rewatch a lot of shows every few months or so, netflix removing the download limits would be a really good thing.
Worse issue: I downloaded in Feb. Netflix explained that I would have to delete ALL titles in order to download the next episode of a series. I think Netflix should remove their yearly limits on downloading videos offline. Although I can see why limitations are set, I find it hard to digest you pay for something supposedly allowing access to content to find there are limitations restricting you.
Also, I downloaded quite some episodes of Money Heist as I was travelling to a country with doubtfull internet, to find out all files were not accessible. I had to delete all and watch all online. Anyway, room for improvement, I would say. Very disappointed!!! I dont have internet at home, and i thought downloads would be the solution to watching my favorite shows that are not available on DVD. First i learned that i cant watch the downloads through my smart TV so the whole family huddles in front of the laptop.
Second, I downloaded several episodes of one show since i wouldnt by going near a connection for awhile. I didnt get a chance to watch all of them in the 48 hours before they expired, and now i cant download them again for a year! Very worthless service for me. I will definately cancel. Smart download only controls whether it automatically downloads new episodes and deletes watched ones.
