Web Series Download: Update January 2023

Today, OTT and web series viewing are at an all-time high. These OTT platforms have given a forum to small-time content creators and big-time producers who take to web series to present their plots and stories elaborately. Audiences love the concept of watching stories on the small screen in the comfort of their homes which has led to a record increase in the number of platforms today. Due to fluctuating internet speeds and streaming rates, viewing audiences prefer to have their content downloaded and readily available for viewing anytime and anywhere they want. 

One more thing to note here is that, a few years ago, with the massive increase in the number of movies and web series on numerous platforms, piracy, bootlegging and content infringement laws have become stricter and it is illegal to download these movies and series from platforms like torrents. Even free streaming platforms such as FMovies, BMovies, Putlockers, TamilRockers and others have had their access restricted under any Indian internet network. 

So how does one access premium content for downloading and offline viewing? Easy! OTT platforms! 

Here at Webisoda, we are going to cover the easiest and the most legal ways to download web series. Most of the OTT platforms today give their users and subscribers the option to download and store the content on their devices. They also give their users several download options to improve their offline viewing experience. 

Let’s look at each platform individually, and check out their downloading facilities! 

Netflix: Netflix is the most popular global streaming platform. While it might also be the priciest, the platform certainly makes up for it with the premium content and originals that it offers. Netflix allows its users to download content for offline viewing, and it will be stored on your device for 2-7 days after you start watching the downloaded content, which may vary from series to series. One thing to note is that not all the content on Netflix is available for download.

Once you find something you wish to watch offline there is a button beside every episode of the series that you can click to start downloads. You can also select the auto-download option, which enables your device to download subsequent episodes by itself according to internet speeds and availability. You can also download content in different resolutions as per your data packs.

Netflix allows you to have about 100 active downloads per device per account. Of course, upon cancelling your subscription, your downloads will also be removed from your device.
