Yes I can also confirm this was working up until last night. If you click on the individual videos and use that URL it will download the video however it will not download the entire playlist using the main URL. The output appears to hint it's trying to log in twice when download a playlist where as downloading individual videos only logs in once. Can't recall if that's normal.

Me too, it's not working any more. Used to getting this error a few times, but still downloaded the courses at last. Now it's completely not working and not even able to download one video from lynda.
