I’m been converting the lectures to MP4 so I don’t have to waste data while rewatching on the bus to work. 350ish MB each.
@jeremy, if you’re OK with me sharing a (non-public) Dropbox link here, I’d like to offer them to others.

You can just download the lectures to your phone (while on wi-fi) with the YouTube app. That’s what I’ve been doing for literally the same reason, to not use data while watching on the bus to work. 
That feature is available in certain countries (excluding USA I believe) or youtube red subscribers only

Confirmed excluding USA, also seems like excluding accounts tied to USA while abroad
You can just use youtube-dl to grab the videos.

Yep that’s what i did. They changed something with their throttling in the last couple months, so it often takes 18 hours (other times 5 mins). Figured I’d save people the hassle.

A simple trick that I use to download them is to change the URL from www.youtube.com/watch/v?=XYZ to www.ssyoutube.com/watch/v?=XYZ (Notice the ss before youtube) and you get to a website which allows you to download it in multiple resolutions.

YES!
I thought I’m the only one with the issue and I’m crazy.
