I live in a very rural town in upper Idaho, where the fact that DSL actually works is amazing because they have not touched the copper since Alexander Graham Bell personally installed it back in 1886. I copied the video links for each video in the Network+ series into the FDM (Free Download Manager) and scheduled the download for later in the day when I am not using the network. I tested one download and it worked fine. The rest (almost 40) I let wait until a specified time. When I returned to check, I see the logs have the following error.
"Access denied. Invalid user name or password".
My guess is that my browser session timed out. I checked and I was still logged in. I logged out and then logged back in the site but still the downloads gave me this error. (It retry's every 5 seconds)
So I decided to look at the URL. It appears as though the URL has a session cookie in it. So I checked the URL provided by the website earlier today to the present one and low and behold, it's different. So I copied the diff parts to the current DL QUE file and still it didn't work. (There went my idea of Find/Replace all for the cookie portion.)
So I guess I am stuck, with setting up downloads just before I leave the computer and hoping the complete and only doing a few since lining up a whole course worth does appear to work since there is some sort of cookie time out.
Could I mail someone the DVD's and a Return authorization label to burn them and send them back to me?
Maybe I could rent time on a box on the backbone, download all the files, then setup an sftp session where I have a static uname and pass to get the files to me here rurally.
Any ideas would be appreciated,
Matt

Just checking back in on this question. (I guess technically this is a bump.)

You're right, the download links will time out after a set duration. As for a how to help out, I'm not sure DVD's will be the best option. Depending on the lenghth of the episode, each one can range in size from 1GB - 4GB in size. That would be a lot of DVD's.
I'll talk to our web guy about a solution to get you the videos.

Don't spend too much time on that, as I have been able to download enough that I can stay ahead of the curve. I will just cue up 2 to 5 before downtime and let it grab them overnight. So far this stratagy has worked.
Thanks for the reply,

I have also encountered the same.
I connect from Cape Town South Africa. Our internet was installed by the British Empire in the 1820's, so i am in the same boat.
I usually Queue up one course at a time, do download over the weekend and then watch it in the evenings the following week.
a download link that lasts 48 hours would be more than sufficient
