Your experience may vary based on connection details, but most people will be able to download a movie in minutes.

One of the best things about using Netflix to watch content offline is the quick transfer speeds. You cannot download content from the browser-based. Whether you’re downloading on mobile or laptop, you will need to use the Netflix app. Netflix makes it easy to search for stuff to watch by genre or keywords. First, open the Netflix app on your device. Sadly, there's no Netflix app for Mac or Linux, so you can't watch Netflix offline on those platforms. There's a Netflix app for Windows 10 and 11 in the Microsoft Store, and you can use the Android app on most Chromebooks. If you want to know how to download movies on a laptop with Netflix, it's simple: you need to use the desktop app instead of the browser. Not all content is available to download, but just look for the Download button on the movie's description page within the iOS or Android app. You can watch movies offline on Netflix with your regular subscription, and downloading content doesn't count towards the number of screens you're allowed to view on (you can download to the same number of devices as your plan allows for streaming).
