Just got this error:

The error seem specific to this course (Pattern-Oriented Software Architectures for Concurrent and Networked Software), as two other did not crash.

I think all course material is available, judging from the course dashboard: image

Also, for some reason, not all the available material was downloaded from the course datasci-001 (Introduction to Data Science). The script just went on to the next, guitar-001, (Introduction to Guitar), where one video were skipped.

Albeit I have no real knowledge about how this script works, I have an idea that the problem is fetching the downloadable content, as several videos were downloaded without problems.

Newer mind. Hadn't updated to the newest version (I'm a git noob) as I thought I did. Works now :flushed:
