Quick protip for those wondering, the simple command to download an entire youtube channel is like so:

$ youtube-dl -citw ytuser:LastWeekTonight

I downloaded a channel with 121 videos, 4.4 gigs, took 26 minutes, so 2.8MB/s average. Curious if the Youtube people will shrug it off and free the beer or rate limit or more aggressively combat this.

Also, to get the total number of supported sites:

$ youtube-dl --extractor-descriptions|wc -l

466 (wow)

As this can run on anything with Python, I guess that includes Android[0], iOS[1], Windows Phone[2], heck even Blackberry[3]??

Thanks pmoriarty for submitting this. Awesome and I'm just getting started poking around with it. Makes me really want to learn Python, seems that's what all the fun stuff[4] is coded in.
