Hi Christian

I am using the coursera video downloader bookmarklet & it works great.

I was wondering if you know of a similar good (as in lightweight) way(bookmarklet, extension, etc) to download udacity videos (which are youtube videos & unlike coursera, not organized all on one page) ?

Thanks,
cnh

Thanks! Glad you like it :D

I'd use something like a Chrome YouTube video downloader extension (a bunch exist; here's one: http://www.chromeextensions.org/other/easy-youtube-video-downloader/ ). I haven't used Udacity as much, so I can't offer any specific advise.
