Description

Downloading a paid Udemy course suddenly returns 403 when authenticating with -u and -p. I have altered the command to use a cookies.txt file instead and now it appears to be working, suggesting a bug in the download process when specifying username and password manually.

Update: with cookies also fails after an undetermined amount of progress:

youtube-dl --cookies ~/Downloads/cookies.txt -o '%(playlist)s/%(chapter_number)s - %(chapter)s/%(playlist_index)s. %(title)s.%(ext)s' https://www.udemy.com/go-the-complete-developers-guide/ --verbose -f best --no-cache-dir
