For downloading, there are two options as far as subtitles go: hardsubs or softsubs
1)Hardsubs and softsubs:
soft subs – soft subs are simply subtitles which come as a separate file and aren’t directly attached to the video file, so you need to download them separately- they’re usually titled/in the form of “.srt”
hard subs – subtitles which come with the video and don’t have to be downloaded separately – ie if you see “episodes 1-10 hardsubbed” in means that the episodes are already subbed and all you have to is download the videos
Hardsubs are nicer in general as you only have to download one file, but they take much longer to come out and most people end up using softsubs for the most part as episodes get released with softsubs by fansubbing groups much much faster than with hardsubs. The good thing about soft subs, however, is that they’re very small files; they usually download in seconds. Figuring out how to sync them with your video file/make sure they show up on your screen can get a bit trickier, but it’s really not that hard…
