They are all going away March 15th:

Here is their post about it:

Let's archive it all! You can use this script:
https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
The script can automatically download entire youtube playlists in one go.
Just give it the url of the playlist.
Let's organize who's downloading what here:

What a terrible decision! Taking thousands of videos off their youtube
channel... because of accessibility?? That is complete nonsense.
I was so hopeful when schools started to put out opencourseware
videos. I learned so much watching them over the years. Now I am
feeling more pessimistic than ever. If UC not only gives up on open
courses, but go out of their way to delete them from the internet,
this will discourage every other school from bothering.

Some of the best ones are only available on iTunes. Is there a way to
automate downloading these as well? Worst case scenario we can do it
manually while there's still time. I've personally benefited from many of
these and would hate to see them go.

The blog post doesn't make it very clear, but they were ordered by a judge
to either subtitle everything they put online or remove the courses. It
sounds like they do not have the money to subtitle everything, so they have
to remove it.

Damn. I wonder how much that would actually cost, if it could be
crowdfunded or crowdsourced. I'd pay something to keep them online and
make them more accessible.

Hi!
(Some) archiving is being coordinated over this wiki:
http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=UC_Berkeley_Course_Captures
You have also scripts you can use to download things.
Feel free to contribute to the effort.
