downloading the videos is pretty convenient, and bringing the subtitles along with it is a nice touch. however, this still leaves a lot to be desired for courses like https://www.coursera.org/course/programdesign where each week's coursework is broken up into many small starter files. this is not optional information, and requires that i go through some rather painful efforts to download each tiny little file one-by-one so that i can get started on the homework that accompanies the lectures.

Unfortunately there is no easy way around this as conventions vary between courses. You would really have to do some advanced scraping, something I do not have the time for to implement. If you are following the course along it should not be too bad though.
