ZTM Academy Free Access Ends May 10 โ€” Anyone Able To Save The Courses? ๐Ÿ“š

Nobody actually answered you โ€” โ€œall these repliesโ€ with no steps is more confusing. :upside_down_face:



The โ€œMay 10โ€ deadline is fake. It kills the source, not the copies. This whole library is already ripped, mirrored, and torrented across half the planet. Grab a lane :backhand_index_pointing_down:

๐ŸŽ The whole shelf โ€” already lifted

The exact ask. ZTM, done for you:

Grab What Cost
128-course pack (on 1Hack) All 128, 2025 batch, ~376 GB, EN subs :free_button: torrent
Downloadly Single courses, direct DL โ€” cherry-pick :free_button:
CourseFlix 133 ZTM courses, stream in-browser, no login :free_button: watch

Everything โ†’ torrent. One or two โ†’ Downloadly.

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ The list 'they' keep trying to take down

One index to rule them all โ€” a giant community wiki of every free-course source alive, updated constantly (dead sites swapped out weekly, so links never rot):

Any course, any topic โ†’ this wiki has a source for it. This is the โ€œroam anywhereโ€ answer.

๐Ÿด The mirror army โ€” any course, already down

Sites that re-host paid courses. Search the exact title in quotes on any of them (or Google "Complete Python Developer Zero to Mastery" site:coursehunter.net):

Site Stash
CourseHunter Massive dev-course vault, EN + RU
SoftArchive / Sanet Courses + software + books, huge
FreeCourseSite / FreeCourseWeb / FreeCourseLab Udemy mirrors โ€” live links on FMHY
CourseClub ยท TutsGalaxy ยท DesireCourse More Udemy/Lynda/Pluralsight dumps โ†’ FMHY
CGPeers / CG Persia Design, VFX, 3D, motion courses

Pirate domains rotate often โ€” if oneโ€™s dead, FMHY has the live one. Donโ€™t trust a hardcoded link, trust the index.

๐Ÿงฒ Torrents + the Russian vault nobody checks
Source Why bother
1337x Search the course name โ€” most big courses sit here
RuTracker :star: Russian tracker, free signup. Has courses that exist nowhere in English. Right-click โ†’ translate the page, or use their bypass proxy
Academic Torrents Legit-leaning, big datasets + lecture sets

RuTracker is the sleeper. Different country, different uploaders โ†’ stuff the English scene never got. Bind your torrent client to a VPN and youโ€™re clean.

๐Ÿผ That Chinese link, decoded

bilibili (bilibili.com) = Chinese YouTube. Users re-upload paid courses free.

  • Siteโ€™s in Chinese, search isnโ€™t โ€” type the English name (Complete React Developer Zero to Mastery).
  • To save not just watch: feed the video link to yt-dlp (next box) โ€” reads bilibili natively.
๐Ÿ”ช If it plays, it's yours โ€” rip it raw

Works on ZTM, Udemy, Coursera, Skool โ€” anything that streams. Sites donโ€™t give you an .mp4; they stream chunks through a playlist file (.m3u8 = the chunk list). Grab the list, one tool rebuilds the video.

No code: browser extension โ€” Video DownloadHelper / Stream Detector / M3U8 Link Finder. Play โ†’ it lights up โ†’ download.

Command line: install yt-dlp + ffmpeg (stitches chunks), then:

F12 โ†’ Network tab โ†’ filter: m3u8 โ†’ hit play โ†’ right-click the line โ†’ Copy as cURL (bash)
yt-dlp --referer "https://zerotomastery.io/" -o "lesson.mp4" "PASTE_M3U8_URL"

Power moves (the part nobody posts):

  • --cookies-from-browser chrome โ†’ auto-uses your logged-in session. No manual cURL copying.
  • Dump every lesson URL into list.txt โ†’ yt-dlp -a list.txt โ†’ whole course in one run.
  • --write-subs --sub-langs all โ†’ pull the subtitles too. -N 16 โ†’ 16x parallel, way faster.

Have a sub already? Rippers that batch a whole account: udemy-downloader-gui (Udemy), coursehunt / fmdown (CourseHunter), N_m3u8DL-RE (yt-dlp with buttons).

403 Forbidden = link expired, not you. Refresh โ†’ grab fresh m3u8 โ†’ rerun.
:warning: Hard-DRM sites (Pluralsight, LinkedIn Learning, anything Widevine) hand you a scrambled file โ€” standard tools canโ€™t save those. ZTM is plain HLS, so it rips clean. For the DRM ones, use the mirror army above instead.

๐Ÿ”ฆ Summon a mirror from thin air

Course too new to be indexed? Conjure the file yourself:

  • Google dork it: "exact course title" mega.nz ยท "exact course title" site:drive.google.com ยท add terabox โ€” people leak whole courses to cloud drives constantly.
  • Telegram: search the course name in-app. Course-dump channels and request bots (โ€œsend title โ†’ get linkโ€) are everywhere, especially for Udemy/dev content.
  • Reddit: the r/Piracy megathread + course subreddits point to fresh mirrors daily.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Where this quietly saves your ass
  • Paid a Udemy course โ†’ it gets pulled or refunded โ†’ your own copy still sits on disk, forever.
  • Instructor โ€œupdatesโ€ the course and deletes the old lessons you liked โ†’ yours are safe.
  • Flight, dead wifi, data cap โ†’ offline .mp4s, no buffering, no login screen.
  • โ€œFree for 10 daysโ€ promo ends โ†’ doesnโ€™t matter, you grabbed it in 2 minutes.
  • Sub lapses or account gets banned โ†’ your library doesnโ€™t flinch, itโ€™s local now.

They set a deadline. Your hard drive doesnโ€™t have one.
