Downloading commercials? How do I do that?

There's a whole bunch of ways - pick one that suits you. You actually download the film by watching it, and it is then stored in your browsers cache where you can fish it out.

So many people make the mistake of mistyping their emails - gmali.com instead of gmail.com being a very frequent example - and spambots sign up with fake accounts here too often, so we clean out accounts that have never been logged into after a few days. If you log in, even just once, you're safe but if you wait a full week for whatever reason it's likely that your account was deleted with the other dead ones.
