> when your traveling and you don't have internet and you want to watch something Hulu and a number of other streaming services have a download feature for exa

  In my experience the download services have weird time limits and are pretty crappy, I'd rather just have the content on my Plex server.

  The download features are super limited. - Downloaded something in country A and want to watch while in country B? Sorry, the content is not available in your region. Want to watch it via VPN? Sorry, we detected that you are connected via a VPN (had exactly those two issues with Amazon Prime Video). - Even if content is available in another region, some language options are not available anymore (you are in Russia? Now you can only choose English an Russian). - Some titles are not available for download and can only be streamed - Downloads require you to use the app. Not all devices have the app. E.g. you can't download movies on a Macbook because there is no Mac Netflix App. However you can do it on Android, Windows and iOS. I am forced to watch content on my Android phone instead of the bigger Macbook screen when traveling.
