Discovered a Linux command to download YouTube videos. “youtube-dl”.
Install: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
Example of using: youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9403-9CptH8"
For some reason, i got this error on my VirtualBox, but a friend runs fine on Linux.
youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9403-9CptH8"

The funny thing is, if you man youtube-dl, you see that it's supposed to be a perl script. But if you actually look at the code cat `which youtube-dl`, it's a python script. LOL. Perl losers.
