Raw Links not working #3

Closed darnir closed 12 years ago

darnir commented 12 years ago

The raw links on Udacity Course CS387 don't work with wget. The direct links however work with the browser redirect. Raw links need some looking into.

I have had issues with this myself. Whether or not the links work seems to depend on the terminal you use to start wget, of all things. Some terminals seem to break long lines in heredocs, so the usage suggested by the instructions page was failing.

As a workaround, try saving the list of links as a file, and using that as input to wget. I updated the instruction page to say this.

If this turns out not to be the issue, please let me know so we can troubleshoot further.

I will try the workaround as the next set of videos are uploaded in about 24 hours, and let you know the result.

Yeah.. The Workaround worked for other courses.. Guess, you were right about the terminal splitting the long lines.. Kudos to your work man! Single downloading, I'd go mad.. Thanks to your raw links and aria2c I can download them much faster!
