-
The Vanishing Download Button: Did you tap the glorious "Download" button with the confidence of a seasoned prepper, only to have it disappear into the digital ether? Congratulations! You've successfully initiated the download sequence.
-
The Prime Video App Acting Suspicious: Is your Prime Video app sporting a smug grin and a progress bar that seems to be taking its sweet time? That's most likely your video busily downloading in the background.
Pro Tip: Patience, grasshopper! Downloading speeds can vary depending on your internet connection and the video quality you chose. Don't be that guy refreshing the app every two seconds.

For the Android Aficionado:
-
Grab your trusty phone and crack open the Files app (or your preferred file manager).

Attention! This is where things get a little cloak-and-dagger. The download folder might be cleverly hidden under a path like "Internal storage/Android/data/com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient". Don't worry, it's not actually a secret government facility... probably.

For the Windows 10 Warrior:
-

-
Thankfully, you can check the download settings within the Prime Video app itself. Click on the Settings cog and look for the glorious words "Download Location". There you'll find the path to your hidden video treasure!

Important Note: Due to some fancy DRM (Digital Rights Management) stuff, you won't be able to just move these files around like regular videos. You'll need to use the Prime Video app to play them. But hey, at least you can finally watch that hilarious cat compilation video on your next trip!
Congratulations! You've successfully retrieved your downloaded Amazon Prime videos. Now, settle in, grab some popcorn (or your preferred snack), and get ready to be entertained. Remember, with great downloaded video power, comes great responsibility... use it wisely (and maybe share some popcorn with your neighbor).
