Udeler | Course Downloader

A cross-platform app to download your purchased courses (paid or free) from Udemy, the code is provided as-is and I am not held resposible for any legal issues resulting from the use of this program.
Project originally by @FaisalUmair is archived.

Warning

• This software is intended to help you download Udemy courses for personal use only.

• Udeler downloads the lecture videos by simply using the source of the video player returned to the user by Udemy after proper authentication, you can also do the same manually.

• Sharing the content of your subscribed courses is strictly prohibited under Udemy Terms of Use.

• Each and every Udemy course is subject to copyright infringement. Downloading courses is against Udemy's Terms of Service, I am NOT responsible for your account being suspended as a result of using this program!

• This software does not magically download any paid course available on Udemy, you need to provide your Udemy login credentials to download the courses you have enrolled in.

• Many download managers use same method to download videos on a web page. This app only automates the process of a user doing this manually in a web browser.

• Udemy has started to encrypt many of their course videos, please do not open an issue if some/all videos are skipped. Breaking DRM encryption implies piracy, so it will not be included in this application.

• This program is WIP, the code is provided as-is and I am not held resposible for any legal issues resulting from the use of this program.
