Download a whole season at once – Restriction "more than 50 subtitles"?

Wed Feb 09, 2022 1:11 pm

Hi,
I have just tried to download season 2 of "The Saint". I followed this instruction: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16826#p41834
I've chosen "Advanced search" and adjusted "language" + "1 year ago" as well, the result looks like that: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/ssearc ... ovie-62261
I have 27 subtitles selected in this season then.
If I try to download them I get a message: "You are trying download more than 50 subtitles, but you don't have permission. Become VIP member (subtitles: 54)".
What do this message and these numbers ("more than 50 subtitles" and "54") mean?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi,

https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/ssearc ... ovie-62261 is showing for some reason incorrect number of subtitles per episode, when you click any episode, you will find, there is 2 subtitles.

So the correct amount for all subtitles for 2nd season is 54. We allow for "normal" users to download 50 subtitles per ZIP pack. If you want to download more in ZIP, then as in message is written - support us and become VIP, download more subtitles - and this will work.

Also note, each subtitle in ZIP pack for SEASON is counted as 1 download, so if ZIP have 54 subtitles, we count it as you would download 54 single files.

We recommend to use some nice software for downloading subtitles, if you are on MAC OSX, check the Flixtools, otherwise Subber is nice too.

I just found out the error in system, the correct ZIP download link in this case should be https://www.opensubtitles.org/download/ ... badddate-7 - and yeah, this is downloading 27 subtitles and it will work also for you :)

Thank you for the answer!
Your link worked for me as well.

How did you manage to make such a link, which has a real amount of subtitles?
I tried once again but I couldn’t manage it.
I took another famous series, Perry Mason this time. I've chosen "Advanced search" and adjusted such characteristics as:
- language En
- Search only in TV Series
- Season 1
- 25.000 fps

The link I got is: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/ssearc ... ovie-42163
You can see there are only one subtitle for one episode.
It should be 39 subtitles in this .ZIP. But the message said:
You are trying download more than 50 subtitles, but you don't have permission. Become VIP member (subtitles: 121).

And indeed, sometimes Oss is right :wink:

More or less the same for the list you refer to. It shows "1" for each episode. But when you click on for example the first episode of season 1 you will see not one but FOUR subtitles. The same for other episodes.

This explains why the ZIP file contains not 39, but more than 50 subtitles. And thus you get that error.
