i assume i just do the same thing for this series

Yes, it is basically the same. But it's also different. What I'm saying is that most media players can play the folder. You can typically open the media player and drag 'n' drop the entire folder into it, or right click the folder and select play with your preferred media player.

Basically, you'd want to play the folder rather than the individual files inside of it.

so i was downloading the files individually and than I realized... maybe i should be selecting the "DL all files" option

You can download each file individually if you want. You just need all 4 parts to make up one disk before you can DO anything with it! If you have downloading limitations, I suggest downloading at most one disk's-worth per day. You can unpack it and watch those episodes. On another day you can download 4 more parts to make another disk. This is why each disk was split into parts in the first place, because not everyone can download many GB per day or all at once. Of course if someone CAN download 30 GB in one day, they will do that and get all the downloading over with.

yea, i'm gonna try again tomorrow
ran out of the 6gb limit

And yea, I'm just gonna download individually

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention pixeldrain downloading limits too... The only way to get around that is to use a VPN and switch the server for downloading the other parts. Otherwise it means waiting until the next day to download more parts. (Yet another reason it is in parts: trying to download one 7.5 disk as a single ISO file would probably trigger the download limit and be VERY annoying.)

Switching browsers or switching to a new pc won't bypass the limit right?

If you are using the same IP address for them then no it will not bypass the limit. If you download it in the browser; and use a (free!) VPN in the browser; and switch the VPN Server for each 5 GB -- THEN it should bypass the download limit because you will be changing the IP address. I think a free browser VPN like UrbanVPN will work to do that.

A paid-for quality VPN installed on the computer will generally allow Server switching, and the files can all be downloaded using something like JDownloader2 installled on the computer.

I have used both these techniques at various times.

P.S.: I am NOT using a VPN. As an experiment I loaded the pixeldrain links for all 16 parts into JDownloader2 (free downloading program). Then I downloaded just the 4 parts for disk 1, using JDownloader2. It took about 15 minutes and did NOT trigger the downloading limit. (I then extracted the 4 parts using 7zip because the built-in JD2 extractor seemed to be taking too long.) Trying the next disk 4 parts triggered the download limit, but I was able to get 7 GB+ for one entire disk without delay.

Pixeldrain has two limits. The first is a soft limit that lowers the download speed. And then there is a hard limit that prevents any download from that IP.

Sorry about the pain, I'll see if I can get a mirror up.

you don't need to, I'm in no rush

I wanna rewatch Season 1 first anyway before i watch Season 2 (Been a few years since i last watched season 1)
