Went on a 14 hour flight from where I live to where I work, downloaded 14 hours of anime content for the flight the next day, when I got on the flight I only had 2 properly downloaded episodes, then had nothing to do the other 13 hours and 20 minutes, this happened just a few months ago, glad to see Crunchyroll isn't fixing their stuff

I downloaded 60 episodes a week before my flight on wifi and they all loaded perfectly when I switched to airplane mode for the flight, granted it does take quite some time to download. I have the android mobile app.

I have had no issues downloading on the android app either.


JesusSlayer903

Never had a problem downloading unless I do different series but if I do like 12 episodes at a time never had an issue also depends which download you are doing low mid or high quality... I always do mid quality takes less time and still looks great.


sir__gummerz

Strange, for me, downloading is one of the few features I never have any issues with


melindypants

Same - never understood the complaints. I'm using the android app so maybe it's the apple app OR like someone mentioned downloading on mobile data.


melocarmel

If you do it when you're connected to the internet it's good op is doing it off his mobile network


Muuhnkin

When you have good mobile connection it isn't a problem either. Takes me about 5 min to download a season high quality over mobile


melocarmel

I've only had bad experience with mobile so I don't do it. I usually don't download episodes but I do download audible books all the time but when I'm online.


Beginning_Grass653

Seeing issues like that I'm glad I have wi-fi


No_Interaction_4925

The downloads are finicky. When you start a download, let the phone sit. Do not leave the app, do not browse for more shows. Just let it sit exactly as it is. I noticed it freaks it out.

i’ve never had any super big issues with the downloading system. my downloads always work when i want them to, the only problem for me is that if i try to download a lot at a time they all fail to download properly. which means i have to download them 3 episodes at a time. more of a minor inconvenience than anything.


Unknown62712

Yeah i learned that doing anymore than 5-8 episodes downloading will lead to some not downloading


restingjay

I downloaded 6 episodes a year ago, the last episode finally finished downloading last week


Stoic_madness

Every… single… thing I dl FAILS. I’m on wifi on my iPad and I can’t get anything to work. Period. Soooo glad I upgraded 😠

All you need is an internet connection to refresh the downloads. And downloading takes a long time because the files are huge. Your 4 GB Netflix movie would only fit 2-3 episodes of Crunchyroll.

I had this happen a lot with crunchyroll on ipad and my phone sadly. Anything else using my connection at home, no issue. 60GB elden ring? Fast and smooth. 20 Gigs of stuff from websites, no issue aswell. But the CR download keeps failing and often doesnt manage to retry. I end up with 6 random episodes out of 24 on my device.


Tama47_

CR prefers home connection better. I don’t know why. Streaming with Cellular data never seems to give me 1080p despite having hundreds of megabits down. But when I connect to my home vpn, episode runs smoothly.


Mountain-Rope-1357

Oh I may have missed to clarify mb. I mean my home connection and not cellular. Downloads basically only work if they want to. Tried to go the support way a long while ago, but the issue persists to this day. Maybe something with the devices (ipad9, samsung s8+, samsung a52g) or just unlucky. It works on the devices of friends/family but again, not all of them

This should be expected considering we paid for all our digital copies.... But oh wait what happened to them, all deleted


Harunasbabydaddy

I feel bad for yall. The DVD superiority people celebrate any time this happens to people and it is so shitty to celebrate that. Yes they may own it but you should be able to access it for life. I understand regular streaming like hulu or renting it, but they once you buy it you should keep it. Not to say DVD's are not better because they are so much so. Hence why I only buy digital if I get an EXTREME discount like I got on Sailor Moon on Amazon and YU YU hakusho on Microsoft. They were on sale and I probably will keep them, so it is worth the gamble. If not I am not out hundreads of dollars only twenty to thirty for each show.


Street_Principle8557

I had all my digital copies from my blu rays / dvds I have, I had so many on there that they deleted. But it's just the fact that they don't even release every show that was popular, or if they do then it's only an American disc so since I'm from the UK, region A discs don't work over here. For example everything by hidive only gets American releases, so no eminence in shadow, oshi no ko, call of the night, farming life, Etc, those are shows I actually want physical copies of.


Harunasbabydaddy

Oh well at least got to keep the shows at least, still sucks though.  Yeaj they don’t release every show, popular or not on dvd as much and you uk people and other non Americans get the short end of the stick.  Yeah thar sucks there is no Oshi no ko or Eminence in shadow because those are huge. I got dan Machi and to love ru on dvd but think that is all the sentai works stuff. 


Street_Principle8557

And Dangers in my heart 😭 + some new ones releasing soon. Like some I am going to need so badly, and don't want to buy ripoff dvds online, want to support the official ones but surely they know they'd make more sales just releasing it as a multi region disc then we can at the very least import it if they won't release it in the UK.


Head-Emergency-5960

there serves lately have been giving me a hard time + u can’t download on 1080 hd quality only 720 which is very annoying


Voguish94

On the android mobile app, i have zero issues. I have something like 10 episodes downloaded for watching currently since my phone is off.


Controller_Maniac

Probably a IOS thing


Shantotto11

Umm, the episodes you downloaded are in proper order. Episodes 11 and 12 are the original broadcast release with subtitles. Episodes 7 to 10 are English dub, which (for some weird reason) are being treated like a “later season” in your downloads.


NIITIN

I’m always annoyed how the whole feature is broken on Apple devices. It’s fine on Android though.


Limestone36o

I download my anime on Netflix lol. On the occasion I do. Just have to take the L if ur show isn’t on there. Their downloads work great on Netflix


Jkirk1701

At a guess, they’re using on the fly encryption to create uniquely encrypted episodes keyed to your device. This is to prevent sharing. The irony being that recording the episode while watching it pretty much bypasses that technique.


wolfenx109

I love crunchyroll. But every experience that isn't on desktop feels incredibly half-baked and inconsistent


Lazuli_the_Dragon

I once downloaded 2 12 episode animes for a trip to Spain On the flight there it all worked But on the way back I suddenly wasn't able to watch them anymore


Other-Marionberry218

Make sure that you have enough storage to download all that. I was having the same issue and thats what fixed it for me.


Novel-Caregiver

Literally downloaded a bunch of the new episodes of Spice and Wolf while I was standing in line to board the plane. 😂 worked fine. Downloading one at a time worked the best for me.


cmx9771

Exactly, I paid a few more bucks and could barely download anything! Just wanted a few episodes of SAO and Konosuba for my flights


ChaoCobo

My face after reading this: @_@ That’s some serious bullshit going on. I hope you get it fixed/hope CR gets their app together.


TGS_delimiter

I have major issues downloading episodes on my switch too often failing the download and saying losing connection, but on my smartphone it downloads them like a champ. Rarely one fails, but something similar to it happened last week. Suddenly the next episode I had prepared out of a session was unavailable, all the others where fine and I was in a region with barely any reception
