It's only for films or shows produced or distributed by Netflix. The download option doesn't include shows/films that they license.

at least some of the documentaries from PBS and BBC are downloadable as well.

That's not true, we've downloaded plenty of children's shows for the kids to watch on the train that aren't produced/distributed by Netflix (eg. Octonauts).

Ah. Hadn't noticed that. Most of what I watch on those services, especially when traveling, is their original content so I hadn't noticed it wasn't for everything.

It’s probably only on mobile devices.
