# Downloading replays

Replays can be downloaded from a bot's page, in the results feed.

# Watching replays

_Note: Watching replays on Linux is highly dependent on your setup and therefore outside the scope of these instructions, but these might still serve as a helpful reference._

1. Download a replay file.  
2. The maps used are different from the battle.net ones.  
Ensure you have the relevant map downloaded and installed from the [maps page](/wiki/maps/) (see [how to install maps](/wiki/maps/#wiki-toc-how-to-install-maps)).
3. (MacOS Only) Start Starcraft 2 through the Battlenet app. This way the game won't ask you to log in before showing the replay.
4. Double-click the replay file. Starcraft 2 will play the replay.
5. Once you are finished watching, issue `ALT+F4` (Windows) or `CMD+Q` (MacOS) and click yes to the prompt to exit.
