FAQs about Netflix Downloads

Why does my downloaded Netflix title say "Expired"?

Netflix enforces expiration dates on downloads due to licensing agreements with content providers. This means:

1. Downloaded TV shows/movies expire after a certain period (even with an active subscription).
2. You can watch them unlimited times before they expire.

Can I renew an expired download?

Yes, but with limitations:

1. If the title is still available on Netflix, you can renew the download.
2. If it's been removed from Netflix, you can't renew or re-download it.
3. Some titles have download limits (set by studios)—if you hit the limit, you'll need to stream it online.

Why can't I download a title again?

You might see an error if:

1. The studio restricts how many times a title can be downloaded/renewed.
2. The title is no longer licensed on Netflix.
3. Your device storage is full.

How Long Do Netflix Downloads Last?

It depends on the title and Netflix's agreements with content providers. Some downloads remain available for 30 days, while others have a shorter availability period. Once you start watching, many titles must be completed within 48 hours before they automatically expire. You can check how long a particular title will remain in the Downloads section of the Netflix app.

How can I watch expired downloads?

Only by streaming online — expired downloads can't be played offline. For permanent access:

1. Use Flixicam Netflix Video Downloader to save videos without expiration in 1080p.
2. Keep subtitles, multi-language audio, and metadata.

To avoid losing favorites, download them with Flixicam — no limits!

Why does Netflix show the message: "This title can only be downloaded 1 more time"?

This message means you're close to hitting the maximum download limit set by Netflix for that specific TV show or movie. Some titles have restrictions on how many times they can be downloaded per year on your account.

What happens if I use my last download?

If you proceed, you'll no longer be able to download the same title again for up to a year. To watch it afterward, you'll need an internet connection to stream instead.

Why does Netflix impose download limits?

These restrictions are part of licensing agreements with content providers. Studios enforce limits to prevent unlimited offline access and encourage streaming.

Can I bypass these download restrictions?

Officially, no — Netflix enforces these limits. However, using Flixicam Netflix Video Downloader allows you to save titles without restrictions, in higher quality (1080p), and keep them permanently.
