jQuery Basics project files for download are already completed

In previous courses, I've downloaded the project files for videos to work on locally while watching the video. For the jQuery Basics videos, these files seem to be are already the completed code. It would be nice to have "Start" versions like with Guil's CSS videos.

You didn't provide a link, and it's been a while since I took this course myself, but it is possible that the examples start from scratch? And if not, did you check to see if they are available in a different state in an earlier video?

Also, what about opening the workspace where they are first used and downloading them from there?

Sorry, I was hoping the manner in which I made this post would attach it to the video's discussion. Here's an example from the first video of a new stage, building a Lightbox. The project files for download (even the title demonstrates) are completed: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/jquery-basics/creating-a-simple-lightbox/preparation.

I don't use workspace because I'm accessing the site from China via a vpn. Video access (with and without a vpn) is usually fine, but code challenges, quizzes, and workspace in particular can have big latency issues and fail to run.
