Hi, I'm seeing the following error:

I have successfully downloaded the contents in this course without any errors. This error maybe due to something at your end, make sure you have accepted honor code before downloading.

Odd, but very likely. I've downloaded it in the past successfully as well but haven't been able to recently because of that error. Did you mean you downloaded this just before you posted your comment?

I'm running python 2.7.3 from a Windows 7 command prompt.

Sorry for the delay in looking at this. Can you just confirm that this problem still occurs with the latest git checkout. If so does switching parsers (e.g., using html5lib instead of lxml) solve the issue? (see the -q option)
