## What it is
A cross-platform Python command-line utility for downloading Udemy course videos and subtitles for personal offline use. It supports resuming downloads, batch course downloads from a file, HLS streams via FFmpeg, and WebVTT-to-SRT subtitle conversion.

## Use cases
- download udemy courses for offline viewing
- save course lectures as local video files
- convert downloaded webvtt subtitles to srt
- batch download multiple courses from a list
- resume interrupted course video downloads
- download hls streams from udemy with ffmpeg

## When to choose
- you have legitimate access to a udemy course and want an offline personal copy
- you need subtitle conversion and resume support in a simple CLI

## When to avoid
- the course videos are DRM-encrypted, which the tool cannot and will not bypass
- you need an actively maintained tool - the last release was 2021 and many downloads now fail
- you intend to redistribute downloaded content, which violates udemy terms

## Facets
