Hi, I just tried it today and received 403 Forbidden error.

I tried logging out and logging back again to get new FEM_AUTH_MOD but that new token also didn't help. My guess is it detects the script and stops website access but I'm not 100% sure.

This is the config I tried it with:

const config = {
  FEM_AUTH_MOD: "MY-Auth-Code",
  COURSE_URL: "https://frontendmasters.com/courses/algorithms",
  QUALITY: "1080", // 2160, 1440, 1080, 720, 360
};

I tested the same config and it seems like 1080p quality does not work. It looks like frontend masters updated their m3u8 stream quality for 1080p from Q8 to Q10. I added the fix in #2 and it works for me now, could you make a pull and test on your machine if it works now?

Yup, it worked initially but later I came across an issue where the script crashed after downloading a few videos. I believe the cause might be related to download speed and concurrency (not sure though).

I implemented a potential solution that limits download speed and concurrent downloads, and it seems to fix the crashing issue in my testing.

Would you be open to a pull request for this feature?

I will do that. Thanks

I also noticed for some other course (Eg: https://frontendmasters.com/courses/practical-algorithms/), index_1080_Q10_7mbps doesn't work and returns the same error but when I changed it to index_1080_Q8_7mbps, it worked fine.

Does it still work as FM has started banning people?
