I am trying new script with modifications for long filenames. I am getting following error with course "writing 2" and the error is as following:

File "courseradownloader.py", line 650, in main() File "courseradownloader_filename.py", line 647, in main d.download_course(cn,dest_dir=args.dest_dir,reverse_sections=args.reverse) File "courseradownloader_filename.py", line 374, in download_course os.makedirs(clsdir) File "E:\Python27\lib\os.py", line 157, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) WindowsError: [Error 206] The filename or extension is too long: 'c:\Cou\writing -001\07 - Unit 3 Analyzing Rhetorically\07 - Core Analyzing Text [0448] Avail ble as streaming content at httpgo.osu.eduanalyzingtext.

Mmm, yeah I feared that would come up at some point. There is no trivial fix here as you need to do a little looking ahead to avoid having things that belong together end up in different directories. I will try to fix this as soon as I find some time.

Can you have another try with the current master. You may still have a similar error so please past the full output. Unfortunately I cannot try myself as the writing2 course has ended.
