Download Coursera videos [Bulk Download]

To download a course material from Coursera, Recently I had tried a lot of open scripts available on the Internet but each script has its own assumptions and limitations and is of little use.

Here I am sharing, the best and simplest solution to download bulk videos, subtitles, PPTs and PDFs from Coursera.

  1. Install DownloadThemAll! add-on in Firefox.
  2. To download all material related to a lecture say Princeton's Algorithms Part-1
    • Note: Video links are not direct links to mp4 files hence you have to manually select such links to be downloaded (See Image in Left, You can use sort option to quickly select all such links using Shift key)


Please, Leave your comments in case you face any issues.
