While I’m still on the legacy apps on my daily driver devices for obvious reasons I’m also testing the new ‘experience’.

I noticed a severe flaw with the Downloads feature not working correct:  
I download a movie and the download finished.  
However, the successful download is NOT indicated at the media item (like it is in the old app) but even worse the media file played from the server instead from the download.

How can it happen that such broken software did make it to release?
