    Paramount+ Paramount + is giving me a truncated download

    I’ve been trying for over a week to download original Twilight Zone episode 4.12, most recently this afternoon with release 6.2.5.1. Each time it acts like everything is good — there are no errors, and a file is created that at first glance looks fine. Windows even claims that the video is 50 minutes long. But the file size is much too small, and when I try to play it, it cuts off at 3:32 minutes. Probably not coincidentally, it cuts off right after Rod Serling’s opening monologue, when the first mid-reel ad break starts on an ad supported subscription.

    It does the same thing with a different Twilight Zone episode that I downloaded successfully a couple of months ago, 2.28. (Not precisely the same because 2.28 is a half hour episode, but essentially the same.)

    I just downloaded a recent episode of Strange New Worlds with 6.2.5.1; it appears to be completely fine.

    I posted this on Reddit before I had access to post here, and a couple people commented that they had the same issue with other shows. One of those commenters said they have the non-ad supported subscription.
