edx-dl

0. Motivation

I was using https://github.com/coursera-dl/edx-dl to backup some courses I want to learn but delayed due to 1000+ reasons. However seems this project is no longer maintained. So I spend a few hours to write a small tool.

This script is usable but I don't have time to do more test, and I have no plan to maintain this project. However it is straightforward to update because it is just 200 lines of code.

1. Usage

• Download chromedriver and put it into ./bin
• Install aria2
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt
• Run edx-dl.py, input user name, password, and course url (eg: https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:CaltechX+BEM1105x+3T2020/home)
• Wait for a while

2. Remark

• Headless mode may be buggy due to lacking wait for some loadings. However I am lazy to make it correct.
