  • Thanks for the comment. Great to hear you're enjoying the videos. You can download all the project files, but the video content is all streaming -- it's not possible to download them directly. If you'd like to download the project files, just use the "Download the project files" link at the top of this page, under the Course Resources header.

    Cheers,

    Geoff
