Download Series

Any possibility of adding the ability to download an entire series? I did notice that the download link has a type of episode, so perhaps this is already in the works.

Just one series? Could be worth suggesting it and seeing what Jeffrey says but it's easy enough to click download a few times on each one.

Agreed, this request is out of pure laziness! I've been watching the Build Larabook From Scratch series and there are 31 lessons. I'd love to be able to grab them all in one go.

This has been asked for before (and answered) See this thread. In short - nope.

Just be thankful he allows legitimate downloading to begin with and respect that by not sharing!

Not saying it won't get added, but I'd prefer not to right now.

Jeff is too polite. He's going to start losing it on you guys soon. That is going to be awesome. He should post a rant video.

Honestly i live in a Country with very bad internet and would've also liked this feature.

However with that said i can fully understand the reason behind this not being there in the first place or implemented in the near future ( at least my opinion ).

If you have a decent internet connection or even my own ( 4mb ) i can take a wild guess and say i will be able to download all the videos / series on Laracasts in a month ( probably sooner than that ).

Meaning you can get all the content from Laracasts at least till that date for a mere $9.00 which to me doesn't seem fair at all.

And lets face it there are douche bags that will pay their first month sub, download everything and cancel, even if there is content constantly added to the site ( there will always be pirates ).

I can however see this as a feature for lifetime subscribers and / or someone that has been a member for x amounts of months or actually years ( even if he/she is on monthly sub ) like myself ( because we have some messed up currency lol ).

This is just my 2 cents worth.

My Conclusion: "Remove ALL downloading from laracasts :D" - just kidding

Wouldn't take that long to download them manually, we at least have that option!

Thinking from a site administrators point of view, I can completely understand why allowing the downloading of an entire series would be undesirable. For and end user, its a minor convenience, so I think Jeffrey's answer is perfectly acceptable.

I have downloaded my favorite episodes "by hand" to watch them every morning and evening in the train while I'm moving to work ;) Would be helpful to me.
