Queue up dramas & choose episodes before you download

Short answer

Browse freely and drop anything that catches your eye onto your queue — it waits for you, no rush to download right away. For each series you can Choose episodes (grab 1–3, 5, 8–12, or the whole run) or just keep them all, then batch-download every queued series at once, with a live progress bar tracking each one to done.

A queue matters most once you're browsing 红果's 40,000+-title catalogue or the live leaderboard — you'll spot more dramas than you want to download in one sitting, and the queue is what lets you keep browsing without losing track of what you've already picked.

Browse now, download later

Every poster you tap — from the Catalogue, the Leaderboard, or a pasted share link — lands in My Queue instead of downloading immediately. That means:

Your queue — line up as many series as you like before downloading anything.

Choose episodes, per series

Tap Choose episodes on any queued series to pick exactly which ones you want — say, 1-3, 5, 8-12 — instead of grabbing every episode of a long-running show. Skip it and the series downloads in full. This is useful for catching up mid-series, re-grabbing a handful of episodes you deleted, or just trying a show out before committing to the whole run.

Batch-download the whole queue

When you're ready, the floating download dock lets you set:

Hit Download, and every queued series downloads together rather than one at a time — each tracked by its own live progress bar through queued → downloading → done.

The download dock — set quality and parallelism, then batch-download the whole queue.

Putting it together

  1. Browse the Catalogue or Leaderboard, tapping every poster you want onto your queue.
  2. For any series you don't want in full, tap Choose episodes and pick your range.
  3. Open the download dock, set your quality and parallelism, and hit Download.
  4. Watch each series move through queued → downloading → done, all in one batch.
  5. Finished downloads land in your Library, ready to watch or update later.
Note: only completed downloads count against the free tier's 2-series-a-day limit — queueing and choosing episodes are both unlimited and free, no matter how many series you line up.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download just some episodes instead of the whole series?

Yes — Choose episodes lets you pick specific ranges per series, like 1-3, 5, and 8-12, instead of grabbing the whole run.

Do I have to download each queued series one at a time?

No — the download dock batch-downloads every series in your queue at once, each with its own live progress bar.

What can I control before downloading?

Quality, how many episodes download at once, and how many series download at once — all set from the download dock.

Does queueing count against my free daily downloads?

No — queueing is free and unlimited. Only hitting Download counts toward the 2-free-series-a-day limit.
