Apparently it's a problem with the long paths. We need a fix for this ASAP !

Thanks a lot, I am also encountering the same for https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:NewcastleX+NHI101x+1T2020/course/

This is a Windows specific issue. It can be resolved by enabling long paths in NTFS https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later
