Netflix today announced a feature many users have wanted for years—the ability to download videos and watch them later, without an Internet connection.

"Netflix members worldwide can now download in addition to stream great series and films at no extra cost," the company's announcement said. "While many members enjoy watching Netflix at home, we’ve often heard they also want to continue their Stranger Things binge while on airplanes and other places where Internet is expensive or limited." Downloads are available for all pricing plans.
