Get track videos faster

Hi! I live now in china, here i have a Chinese Great Firewall, and all web sites out of China works reeeaaaally slow. And some of them do not works at all (like fonts.googleapis.com ;-) ). Now i signed up to treehouse, and make a desigion to start from scratch. I have a problem: I need near 12-15 minutes to view video and pass a lesson, and ~2 hours to download next video. Where can I find links to more then one next video? I will set my download software to download them during the night.

Or any other ideas?

James Barnett, can you write some more about what you mean? I looked in itunes for the "treehouse", and found podcast and an ipad app, i will try setup this app, but as i think it use the same server for video streaming, and i will not be able to improve my speed.

The iTunes feed won't improve the video download speed, but you can let all of them download while you walk away from the computer, or overnight. I do this so I don't have to use my internet connection and watch the video offline. Just make sure you choose show old episodes and click on all the clouds to download all of them.

Ok, I found solution by myself. Open track view (with all stages in it), go direct to pages with video and add video download links(from last tab) to your Download manager software. Sounds simple but it take some time for me, so if anyone else will need it....

Thx to all

I also have troubles to download the videos. I tried to do it by pressing the button "iTunes Feed" when I am at the page where I can see the tracks for one course. Itunes open and I can press on the coud to download BUT... only first film of the course is downloaded (like 4 minutes long). There is nothing more that comes up. How do I get the films for a whole course?
