geckoDM: Efficient Download Manager for Echo360 Lectures

geckoDM is an advanced Chrome extension engineered to allow students to effortlessly download all their lectures from Echo360 with the push of a single button. It enables mass downloads, significantly increasing the convenience and easy access to educational materials for students. Given that video files are hosted on Amazon S3, it's advised to limit downloads to 3-4 videos at a time to prevent time-out issues.
