Linuxers posted a guide about downloading videos from various online video services

TweetI think there is a time in every Internet user's life when he/she is crazy about Youtube, provided the bandwidth is not an issue . I went through the same phase in the 2nd year of my graduation. I kept searching and downloading youtube for more bball videos - jordan, kobe, iversion, freestyle etc. I didn't know then how to download videos and usually wasted a lot of my time, copying and renaming the videos from the cached buffer of firefox. I still remember, I had a freshly installed ubuntu hardy and I searched for youtube in synaptic and found this great python script to download youtube videos, youtube-dl.

  Download videos from youtube, metacafe, dailymotion etc. easily using this python script - Youtube-dl
