there are some skillshare courses that I cannot download, those relatively new.

For example,

Replace the skillshare.py file with the attached file

@Sajin_Haider

1. Download magic.py.txt and skillshare.py.txt & remove the .txt extension
2. After executing Step 2 ( _Run This Cell to Install Skillshare-DL Requirements_ ) in the notebook;  
Upload magic.py and skillshare.py files and then Replace the old files by running these commands

```auto
!rm -r '/root/.Skillshare-DL/magic.pyc'
!mv magic.py '/root/.Skillshare-DL/'

```

```auto
!rm -r '/root/.Skillshare-DL/skillshare.py'
!mv skillshare.py '/root/.Skillshare-DL/'

```

</div>

Sign in, go to Dev tools (Ctrl+Shift+I) and in console run

```auto
document.cookie

```

You can then replace the string in py file.

@Sajin_Haider

1. Download magic.py.txt and skillshare.py.txt & **remove the .txt extension**

You need to remove the .txt extension first and then upload.  
In your screenshot you have uploaded them without removing the txt format.

Incase you are uploading with .txt extension,  
You can change the extension using the `mv` command itself;

```auto
!rm -r '/root/.Skillshare-DL/magic.pyc'
!mv magic.py.txt '/root/.Skillshare-DL/magic.py'

```

```auto
!rm -r '/root/.Skillshare-DL/skillshare.py'
!mv skillshare.py.txt '/root/.Skillshare-DL/skillshare.py'

```

Regards  
🙂

Hello Sir!  
Thanks for your efforts to explain how to fix this issue!  
I followed each step but I am having a problem!  
After step 2 I uploaded the 2 files magic.py and skilshare.py  
but after that, I couldn’t figure out how to execute these commands

!rm -r ‘/root/.Skillshare-DL/magic.pyc’  
!mv magic.py ‘/root/.Skillshare-DL/’

```auto

```

!rm -r ‘/root/.Skillshare-DL/skillshare.py’  
!mv skillshare.py ‘/root/.Skillshare-DL/’

```auto

@Sajin_Haider

Seems like you are confused.  
No worries please try uploading this notebook to your colab.

I have added additional steps to make the changes required.
