Remco Coppejans (ID: 0000003952c0401a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/28/2022 I liked this extension a lot!! However it does not allow courses that I was previously enrolled in to download as well. Could you please fix this?!! Would save my life. I want to make a collection of my whole education to maybe access later when I need to.
