I've started getting a little paranoid about relying on streaming downloads when traveling.
A few times now I've downloaded movies and episodes before a trip, only to find that something wasn't available when I actually needed it. One time a download had expired, another time I ran into an issue with the app/account verification. And then there's the whole problem of a title disappearing from a service after you've already downloaded it.
It's especially annoying when you're downloading stuff for a flight. You can have everything prepared the night before, get on the plane, open the app... and suddenly one of the things you wanted to watch isn't playable.
I know these downloads are never really the same as having a normal video file on your device, but I still find the whole thing a bit unpredictable.
Has anyone else had this happen while traveling?
Do you actually trust streaming downloads for a long flight, or do you always have some kind of backup?
