Earth (for now)
I have an iPad 2 with iOS 9.3.5 for the kids and Netflix streaming works fine for it.

However, when I try to download shows for them to use on the road, it's a real pain. If I initiate multiple downloads simultaneously, often none of them download completely. It works better if I download them sequentially, but sometimes some of the files just refuse to download. They'll load part way, and then just stop, even if I have lots of empty space available. If I click on the download, it states it is still downloading, but even if I leave it for say 10 minutes, it doesn't move. Rebooting doesn't help.

Any solution?

Downloads of the exact same shows on the exact same account work fine on our iPad Air 2 with iOS 11.
