Throws exception on start

[beevk]

Hi, thank you for making this library.
I cloned this repo, installed all the dependencies (npm i) using node v20.5.0, then I tried running it with npm run start

I'm getting this error when trying to run the program:

(Use `node --trace-uncaught ...` to show where the exception was thrown)

Node.js v20.5.02800

So I added the flag -trace-uncaught to the run command and it gives same error as above but with this extra information:

Thrown at:
    at loadESM (node:internal/process/esm_loader:40:33)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)

I also tried with node 18.19.1 but same error.
Anyway to fix this?

This issue is the clone of #26
I got the same issue several time, while using fem-dl on Linux but it is working flawlessly on windows. I'm downloading a course right now using it, but on windows.

This issue is Linux specific only.

Have you managed to solve this?

It seems to be an issue related to Unix-based systems, I tested the tool on Windows and it works fine.

We can conclude that this is a compatibility issue on Unix-based systems, I've found an old fork that works on Linux.
The fork is 17 commits behind https://github.com/kruzkasu223/fem-dl-working/tree/master, my assumptions are perhaps the code broke while refactoring.

Thought I'd post this so others who get the issue get to try to use this solution

Thanks for pointing to the fork. That helped :). I hope the bug is fixed soon and works across all the platforms.
