I am looking to download the videos from VueMastery. Any update?

@bythckr it's no great solution, but you can look at the Network tab in your Developer Tools. Filter by XHR and you'll see an iFrame in the (only) response that you can extract the Vimeo link out of. It's a pain, but it half-works. I've found it difficult to do quickly but over a period of time has been okay.

@vSanjo Actually the main page's source code seems to directly have the vimeo URL if in authorised state. I found it in the following selector path (there were 2 other entries as well but I think it's enough to extract the URL from this one), and pass it to the vimeo download method of youtube-dl to download it:
#vimeo-player-1 > iframe

So one could purchase a premium plan for a month, extract all the vimeo URLs and then publish their videos if one is so inclined.
