What’s the Netflix Download Limit and How to Get Rid of It?

Other than the online streaming experience, Netflix added its download feature for offline viewing back in late 2016. The feature really comes in handy when you don’t have access to the internet or have a limited data plan on your mobile device. However, to protect their content or attract more consumption, Netflix adds some limitations to the download feature. What exactly are the download limits on Netflix and how can we bypass them as to play Netflix video offline with more freedom? Read on.

According to a Netflix support page, here we sorted out six important limits of Netflix downloads for your reference:
