you and the above poster are heros. $ youtube-dl The program 'youtube-dl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install youtube-dl $ sudo apt install youtube-dl Not many things I love more than discovering that someone wanted the program I'm about to write, and wrote it better than I'd have had time to. This is why I still love the Linux/BSD ecosystem after all these years

Just a note, in the FAQ[1] it states "distribution packages are often outdated". There are (very simple) cURL/wget instructions in the repo's README[2]. Then you can update with:

   sudo youtube-dl -U
There's also an .exe for Windows as well as pip, Homebrew, and MacPorts packages.

As a former UC Berkeley student, I just want to add that besides the public lecture videos, there are also many private, unlisted course videos on YouTube from the last couple years (after it became an issue). The Archive Team has missed these videos as they're only accessible via UC Berkeley's student portal if you're a student in the class. The Archive Team and current/former students need to work together here to…

It was mentioned on reddit as well that there are videos on iTunes that are not on YouTube and that the iTunes videos will be removed as well.

youtube-dl is an amazing project in terms of the number of contributors and their passion for keeping it up to date and supporting a huge range of sites.

Could someone make a torrent with all of the videos? I would but I've never done it before and don't have the time to learn. :(

Don't know if you've seen the other posts, but Archive.org already has torrents (click on a course and check out the Download Options on the right): https://archive.org/details/@schule04?and%5b%5d=subject%3A%2...

Oh, awesome! Thanks for pointing that out. :)

Not CS related, but I've found these courses to be of great value:

- Sociology 150A (Robb Willer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edfKMAePWfE

- Geography C110 (Richard Walker) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYR5PdPZ_w0&list=PL4rxxS6x1H...

- Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents (Richard Muller) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ysbZ_j2xi0

There's also an audio course on Buddhist Psychology by Eleanor Rosch, if you're interested. Now seems to be available only on iTunes.
