Updated Echo360 download script.

UWA seems to have modified its Echo360 configuration again.  Here are some updated scripts to allow downloading the lectures easily:

Firefox extension
Chrome Extension

Installation instructions are still as per this post.

Some notes:
1. I have received a lot of requests from various people to try to make this extension work at universities other than UWA.  While I'm happy to try and help with this, please understand that the chances of getting things working are pretty slim, and I'm unlikely to be able to help you; different universities configure their servers differently.

2. This is my last semester at UWA, and I'll keep the extension working until the end of the year (subject to how much time I have). However, if UWA makes further changes next year, I will not be able to update things (since I'll no longer have access to echo).  At some point in the future, I'll put the extension code on github or something, and post a tutorial on how to modify it when UWA's changes break things (it's not hard at all).
