MIT-OCW Downloader

Download all video lectures from a MIT-OCW course with a single command.

Features

• Intentionally detailed names, so that it will display and sort properly on most interfaces (e.g., MX Video, or VLC on Android devices).
  • URL and lecture name filters to download only video files.
  • Tested on Mac (Python 3.6).

Instructions to download OCW using this

• mit-ocw-scrapper basically needs a link to the video lectures page of a MIT-OCW course (which of course has video lectures). The link would be something like [http://ocw.mit.edu/cources/college/course-title/video-lectures/]

  • Make a virtual environment for this project on your local machine and activate it.

  • Copy the download.py file to the folder where you want to download the video lectures.

  • Run python download.py <Lecture Link> or python3 download.py <Lecture Link> in case you have more than one versions of python installed on your system.

  • Voila! Download must have started by now.

Contributions

If you want to contribute to this project, feel free to fork it and send a PR :)

Coming Up

• mit-ocw-scrapper only supports video content of the course presently but attempts are on to make it download entire contents (lecture slides, assignments, solutions etc.)
