DOWNLOADING VIDEOS FROM PLURALSIGHT USING YOUTUBE-DL

Youtube-dl can be used to download course videos from pluralsight

   $ youtube-dl --username <myusername> --password <mypassword> "URL to course outline"

Pluralsight may lock you out of your account after you download a lot of content from the site.

To overcome this, use rate-limit in the command as follows:

    $ youtube-dl --username <myusername> --password <mypassword> --rate-limit 50K --sleep-interval 120 "URL to course outline"

The above command will pick up a new video every 120 seconds.
