@arfatshaikh if you are on windows 10 you can disable path limit by following powershell commad:

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" `
-Name "LongPathsEnabled" -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force

and then try to download.

the other solution is you should download the courses to shortest path for example: /mnt/*
