Can someone please explain in more detailed technical terms what the “Original” “High” “Medium” and “Low” quality settings mean in the context of Downloads? What is the respective bitrate and audio setting for each preset?

I know that more advanced downloads settings are [coming later](https://forums.plex.tv/t/documentation-features-and-common-questions/893801). And I have reviewed the [Mobile Downloads with Plex Experience Preview](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JRyGL2OCPxrFq-u2CcIvyk249ZHpUZ221WBCiGhR6wg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.3rj1vtksc4c1) document. Neither provide any guidance on this.

I would like to add that the “Storage Limit,” option doesn’t seem to work. The slider doesn’t slide, it just toggles and shows the entire size of my storage the whole time.
