I'm also having this exact problem.
It was working fine until few days ago.

@jskarulis , @sinusjz both of you should wait before trying to download another course because udemy detects attempts as bot. try after few minutes this will work fine.

i would appreciate if any one else have different solution for this.

Don't know, maybe changing user agent? Tecnically their mobile app is doing exactly the same thing, maybe with a custom user agent that they detect as trusted.

@TonioGela i have tested this solution and changing user agent works but not always and you can check the previous commits for solving this problem was a simple change of user agent.

It couldn't have been so easy obviously. Maybe it's something else in the header, and maybe trying to decompile the android app can be useful. But maybe it's simply not worthy when you could just wait some minutes and retry. In the worst case the control is made server side per user and there's simply a datasize over time limit.

@jskarulis for now i 'm going to close this issue as the current solution to tackle this problem is to wait for few minutes and then try to download.

@r0oth3x49
That's what I did, I've tried every hour and I get the same message.

Or maybe udemy banned my IP?

Getting the same message immediately without any prior downloads

Waiting helps. Logging in with a browser at the same time also appears to help.
