Same here. What is wired is I downloaded another course a few hours ago and it was OK. I have no problem viewing this course online, but just not able to download.

Post the full output of youtube-dl when run with -v, i.e. add -v flag to your command line, copy the whole output and post it in the issue body wrapped in ``` for better formatting. It should look similar to this:

$ youtube-dl -v <your command line>

Do not post screenshots of verbose log only plain text is acceptable.

The output (including the first lines) contains important debugging information. Issues without the full output are often not reproducible and therefore do not get solved in short order, if ever.

Some trick found to get it working remove https from url and its working
as soon as i put https it stops working and says unauthorised.

Mite can help to debug issue.

I think this helps.

1. log out your account everywhere else (in you browser)
2. wait a few hours and try to download again
   I manage to download the course I couldn't.
