I'm not looking for a software or site to download youtube but for an opensource script in bash or any which is up todate as youtube often changes the download url.

I've found this but seems deprecated: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/302/how-to-wget-flv-from-youtube/ http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread104419.html

This is akin to asking for help with Gmail or any other online service. superuser is for computer hardware and software questions only. This question is off topic as defined by the scope laid out in the FAQ. – Josh K Apr 4 '10 at 20:55

@Dennis there are a tons of freewares and sites which do that and this thread superuser.com/questions/6675/… has not been closed, why this one is ? – asksuperuser Apr 5 '10 at 8:35
