I thought it would be nice to listen to these with my podcast player on iphone. Here's my too-complicated process that worked:

- in Chrome inspector, look at the network tab when you click play on a Feynman lecture. Right click the mp4 and do "copy as cURL".

- Go to command line (unix style) and paste. Then append to that command line something like "--output flp1.mp4". That will download the file locally with that file name.

- Put the file on Dropbox or something that will get it to your phone.

- From dropbox on iphone, share and export the file, then choose your podcast app. The podcast app that worked for me is "Pocket Casts".

- Now in Pocket Casts -> Profile -> Files, you should be able to play the mp4s with nice podcast-style controls and learn physics and be happy!

Nice, I tried doing the same, but by writing the curl command myself. It failed, it seems it requires ~the cookies~ because I was getting 403s. Thanks for the better idea!

Edit: Looks like all it needed was the Referrer header.
