Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Earlier today I was able to download lynda videos with no problem. However, now it is only downloads the "public" videos (those available to anyone) even though I included (as I always do) my user name and password on the command line (I've hidden them in the above log, if you need them let me know).

Note: in the above log files the files were already download from previous attempt but it downloaded all 6 public videos despite there being over 25 of them.

When I try to log into lynda.com with the user name and password I am successful and am able to view all videos not just the public ones.

I tried to see if I could figure out anything but have been unable to get it to work so I believe there must be some internal change made in their code.

I appreciate you looking into this for me. Thanks.
