Downloads coming over as html files #419

Open sabarnett opened 4 years ago

sabarnett commented 4 years ago

I just downloaded two courses from Udemy. The downloads appeared to download fine but, when I checked the downloads folders, the attachments had not come down. There were a number of html files which, when I opened them, started a download.

Looking in those HTML files, I can see a link to the file:

< script type="text/javascript">window.location = "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1FdGP5Be2vZI-AqjJvNDwyQVw82M3WhJL";< /script>

I don't know whether this is a recent thing they have started or whether you can do anything about it. For now, I'll have to go through the downloads and pick out these downloads and do them manually.

Using version 1.8.2. Thanks.

Seeing as that the file is on drive.google.com, this would indicate the attachment is not on Udemy's server, but rather the author hosting the files offsite. I can confirm that as of v1.8.2 attachments are downloading just fine.

Perhaps I was unlucky. I signed up to two courses from completely different people (British company and Australian company) and both have the same issue that links are now to google drive locations. Or, perhaps, this is a new UDemy thing to save them space!
