Pluralsight block my account

I think you can add delay 1 or 2 min between videos download, no matter how big this delay I think we can live with that.

My account also blocked due to high activity. I just increased the delay to 180(3 minutes) and it works for me.

How to increase the delay?

@mhelmi in the index.js file look for this line await wait(30000 * index); increase the 30000 to any duration you like the default there is 30secs as indicated by the comment

Funny thing I increased mine to 3 minutes and I got blocked anyway, although it took longer than before, so now I am blocked for the second time and I do not know what to write to Pluralsight, I doubt they would open it up this time

How to increase the delay?

@azhrzafar

Anyway, they still block you even you change delay to 5 minutes.

The good news is that there's still time to create new accounts. The bad news is that the current naive timeout strategy is definitely not working. I'm curious about how they detect it.

• Do we need a user agent?
• Random timing?

I guess we could try both.

Or a random download sequence.

Also blocked...

[freerider7777]

Seems they are watching for the presence of additional tracking requests

[Oghenebrume50]

Yeah I think so, they could be watching for a lot of things, guys there is a way to download courses without stress now just use the pluralsight app downloader then decrypt using this https://github.com/mrvogiacu/Decrypt-PluralSight-Videos-GUI

Try install puppeteer-extra

@siriokun Have you tested how much of an impact the stealth mode does?

[siriokun]

I have tested it and seems to working (with stealth mode & increasing delay to 2 minute)

[vezaynk]

Lovely. Would you like to send a PR with your changes?
