Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I am trying to download a course on Lynda.com and follow all the tutorials I found on the subject but I can't make it work. I use OS X El Capitan and the latest version of youtude-dl.

youtube-dl --version
2016.07.05

I installed it using the curl command on the readme page. When I run the command, I have the output above. It only downloads the free videos, as if I am not logged in.
I verified my credentials, and they work on a browser.
I also tried using the cookies argument, but no luck there too. It gives me the same output as above.
I tried to download a single video using the link, but I get error below :

Which makes me think that the sign in doesn't work properly and redirect to the login page, but that is just MHO.

Am I missing something?
Thank you so much for your help!
