I don't have any specific account to watch/download the video, I connect to Indian VPN servers to download, I was able to download till last week. The issue is only with this video which was the latest video in the series. Please let me know if any additional information is required.

I created an account, but, not sure how can I use those cookies to try and download. Let me try and do some research on extracting the cookies to try and download.
