Netflix smart downloads is a great way to make sure you always have the next episode in a series you're watching always downloaded to your device and ready to go. With the smart downloads feature enabled, anytime you finish an episode of a show in a series that is downloaded to your device, the next undownloaded episode of that series will automatically be downloaded the next time you're connected to WiFi. For example, if you have episodes 1-4 of a show downloaded to your device and you finish the first episode, episode 5 will automatically be downloaded to your device the next time you're connected to WiFi.
