simple but efficient commandline tool. I used it to download complete playlists of videos from Youtube with there original subtitles.
Does what it needs to do, has format options, no bullshit. Also downloads from other video hosts. You know what I mean. Non-technical users may find the CLI weird, welcome to computers! Remember to update frequently.
