netflix download says waiting for connectivity

Netflix doesn’t reveal the download limit set on each title and users are only notified about the download limit when there’s just one final download left. The download limit on Netflix is something that is controlled by these license holders and it varies from title to title.

In recent years, Netflix has invested heavily in original content and has created a strong library of movies, TV shows and documentaries, but the platform still has a lot of content which it licenses from other content creators. But why does Netflix have a download limit to begin with? You’re already paying a subscription fee, so why does the platform limit you from downloading the content that you’ve already paid for? To answer that, lets take a look at Netflix’s policy on downloads. Users are only notified about an expiring download 7 days before the expiration date and in case any downloaded content is removed from the platform, the download expires immediately. The downloaded titles also have a set expiration time, but that varies from title to title depending on the licensing agreement Netflix has with the creator of that title. Additionally, depending on the Netflix subscription plan you’re using, you’ll only be able to download titles on one, two or four devices at any given time. According to a Netflix support page on the matter, a user can download a maximum of 100 titles of a single device at any given time, following which they will be greeted by an error that prevents them from downloading any more content on that device. While the platform allows users to download Netflix movies to watch offline, there’s a limit set in place which prohibits users from downloading too many movies or TV shows.
