What sort of help do you need?

Not much though , adding keybindings for pause and restart the process of downloading as the files maybe huge and one might not want to download them in a single go. Adding a instruction statement in the beginning might also be helpful.

so maybe pipe the built url from download.py to curl or wget? << I can help you there. If you do this you can also trivially pick python2 for the user even if it's not the default one, and check if they even have in the first place. I also have a suggestion. Can you append "/lecture-videos/" for the user?

@aj326 - Those are good ideas. I was thinking of having a progress bar for the download using tqdm and thus wanted to stick to urlib2. please feel free to send a PR with your suggestions.
