The 2-free-series-a-day limit, explained

"2 free downloads a day" reads like it could mean almost anything — two episodes, two clicks, two gigabytes. It's none of those. Here's exactly what the cap tracks, what trips it, and what your options are once you hit it.

What counts as "one series"

One slot is used the moment you queue a title, and it covers every episode in that series — the whole batch, downloaded in one go. A short 8-episode drama and a sprawling 180-plus-episode one both cost exactly one of your two daily slots. There's no per-episode metering hiding underneath the "2 series" framing: if you can fit two long-running shows into a day, both come down complete, in full.

That also means the free tier rewards picking long, complete series over short ones when you can — a single 8-episode title and a single 184-episode title cost you the same one slot, so there's no downside to choosing the bigger show if that's the one you actually want.

What happens once you hit the cap

Try to start a third series on the same day and the app stops you before it begins — it tells you you're out of free slots rather than letting the download fail partway through. Nothing about your first two downloads changes: episodes already saved to disk stay exactly where they are, and any download still in progress keeps running to completion. The cap only blocks new series from starting, not anything you already queued.

When it resets

The limit refreshes once a day, at 00:00 UTC, giving you two fresh slots to use. There's no account or dashboard to check a countdown on — since the app runs in guest mode with no login, you simply come back and queue your next series when it's available again. If you're not sure whether you're still capped, the app itself will tell you the moment you try to start a new download.

Does the free tier cut corners on quality?

No. Free downloads save at the same full 1080p quality as unlimited ones — the daily limit controls how many series you can start, not the resolution or completeness of what you get. A free download and a licensed download of the same drama are identical files.

Going unlimited

If two series a day isn't enough — binge-watchers and anyone building out a large offline library tend to hit this fastest — a license key removes the cap entirely, bought by card and activated from inside the app (see current pricing):

• Monthly — $9.99 a month, renews automatically, cancel anytime. One device.
• Yearly — $29.99 a year, renews automatically, cancel anytime. One device.
• Lifetime — $59.99 one-time payment, no monthly or yearly fees, one device. It lasts for the life of the product, not your lifetime — see what "Lifetime" means.

A key activates one PC at a time, and you can move it to another computer yourself, once every 7 days — see the guide on moving your library if you're switching machines. Everything from the free tier — full 1080p, no account, self-updating Library — carries over; the key just removes the daily count.
