The problem is that on line 85 of the script, the course title is expected to be in a span element but they seem to have changed it. Im not really familiar with beautiful soup and the author isnt paying attention to the issues it seems so it hasnt been fixed yet.

The workaround solution here is to set the title manually. The only thing the title variable is used for is the creation of the folder the course will be downloaded in to.

Solution: Open the script and edit line 85 to assign the course title yourself. Example: title = "course title"

Do mind your operating system's restriction for directory names.

Hope this helps

This has now been fixed! Apologies for the delay.
