I've never downloaded movies/shows before.. So I decided to try for the first time by downloading Episode 1 of this series from SBS
Anyone wanna help me test to see if I did everything right and that this plays normal?

I got 8 minutes in and then paused it to compare to SBS-streaming with VPN, and it looked the same to me. So you must have done it right! What did you use to download?
As soon as I finish these thread posts I can go back to the video...

Downloaded an Extension from the Chrome web store called "Video DownloadHelper"
I had to also download "DownloadHelper CoApp" which is part of the Video DownloadHelper extension

Hey, I've used that! I have found it very useful.
If you get enthusiastic about doing more downloading I recommend Jdownloader. https://jdownloader.org/
It is software that is free and small, and also easy to install and use. It downloads the full available file quality even if your streaming slows down. If your internet is strong then it can download much faster than streaming time. Downloads can be paused and resumed without losing what you have so far. I is also great for downloading multi-part RARs from sites like pixeldrain and MEGA. It works on many streaming sites but not ALL. I don't know if it works on SBS but it is worth a try. I use a browser VPN for SBS and I would need to use a computer-wide VPN to download from SBS in JDownloader. Since you don't need a VPN for SBS that would not be an issue.
Whether you continue on with the joy of downloading or this was a one-time experiment, thank you for sharing!

Quickly before I log off, many youtube videos can be downloaded in JDownloader also, how about that! Others such as age-resricted YouTube videos can be downloaded with the command-line yt-dlp. Good night.
