Package: youtube-dl
Version: 2013.12.04-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I appreciate youtube-dl a lot hence thank you for continuing to
develop as well as package the new releases.

I have seen this since quite sometime that using --list-subs in other
places than youtube.com triggers a download.  As an e.g.  see this in
vimeo.

$ youtube-dl -F "http://vimeo.com/73948643";
[vimeo] 73948643: Downloading webpage
[vimeo] 73948643: Extracting information
[vimeo] 73948643: Downloading webpage
[info] Available formats for 73948643:
format code extension resolution  note
h264-sd     mp4       640x480     (worst)
h264-hd     mp4       960x720     (best)

o.k. it tells me that there are two resolutions for the said video.

Now in the manpage of youtube-dl in Subtitle Options, we have this :-

--list-subs                lists all available subtitles for the video

Now I tried using the same to see if any subs. are available or not .

$ youtube-dl --list-subs "http://vimeo.com/73948643";
[vimeo] 73948643: Downloading webpage
[vimeo] 73948643: Extracting information
[vimeo] 73948643: Downloading webpage
[download] Destination: State Of The Map 2013 - How A Map Can Go Viral
(In 8 Simple Steps)-73948643.mp4
[download]   0.6% of 48.41MiB at 12.16KiB/s ETA 01:07:32

As can be seen it tried to download the video instead of telling me if
any subs. were available or not. And if not, it should have told that
and promptly shut off.

I have no idea what triggers the download. I have observed the same
thing in both dailymotion and vimeo and maybe couple of others. I
don't download many videos hence have no idea if other sites suffer
from the same thing or not.

Hopefully this can be fixed .
