This happens when you try downloading a course. However each video can be downloaded still. This was working like 5 hours ago. That means Udemy has made some modifications in its website and or JSON file or its location

[jaan143]

so now you will update udemy file ?
and yes it was working fine few hours ago but not right now

It seems that there is an issue when the lecture is not a video (in my case a html page). Despite that it's working great.
