If someone like to download Youtube?
1. Load python -2.5 (or newer) (python-2.5min.sfs can be downloaded at: https://docs.google.comopen?id=0Bx0YXB6XAVQBWUxfM05GcUxLbG)
2. From console run youtube-dl:
# youtube-dl `url-of-youtube-file'

(remove .zip extension') of youtube-dl.zip)

**youtube-dl was tested in puppysqueeze_5.X.3.4.10

I tried to use the youtube downloader, the GUI one, to download a free movie from Youtube.
I got a window that asked for file type for the download with no choices offered.
The text in the windows said to make a selection of file type or press return to abort.
So am I missing something here?
Also, is your downloader a command line type or GUI type?
And in your example, how does one specify the destination on the command line?
