Server Version#:1.43.0.10389  
Player Version#:2025.31.1

I was travelling recently so thought I’d see if the Downloads functionality had improved at all. I queued items for download but then had to pause as my flight was boarding. I continued again next time I had Wifi and also did some downloading via mobile hotspot - it said all completed successfully however when I went to play back they were all corrupt and skipping about. Playback online was fine so the files are OK on the server. I appreciate I had to stop/start downloads however I thought there would be error checking that took place to ensure the file that was received wasn’t corrupt - is that not the case?

MMh, I noticed that it was not downloading the video in original quality as it does on Windows, despite all the settings being set to original.
