I have often downloaded movies and TV series for offline storage, but I have always limited myself to a small number of materials.
Something that I miss in HBO Go is fortunately available in Netflix. Offline viewing is very useful on a train, on a plane or in a hotel. The services of streaming movies and series are a blessing of the 21st century, and the icing on the cake is the ability to download materials to the device's memory. In the average smartphone I probably would never have met the Netflix limit, but as part of the # 1TBChallenge action I got to the point where more data can not be downloaded anymore. Saving series for viewing later is a great option that I often use.
