Anyone able to get scicomp-001 to work? I get this warning: "Warning: no downloadable content found for scicomp-001, did you accept the honour code?" (I have)

Probably University of Washington not allowing downloading of their material. Or you should just try it again a bit later.

Hmm, I'm not that familiar with BeautifulSoup, but it appears to not properly be parsing the page, rather than a download / availability issue. Specifically, there's no content in the soup object ~line 150 and thus the list of content to parse and download is just [].

Will keep probing, but if anybody has experienced something similar and has a handy solution, I'd greatly appreciate the tip! (And I'm sure the author would appreciate a PR)

I get the same thing, for humankind-001. Oh well.
