You could just use apt-get or aptitude to install the youtube-dl package.
To use it you can just issue a command like
$ youtube-dl<address of YouTube video you want to download>
That will put the video in your home directory.
I use youtube-dl all of the time. Works great. But as the youtube
site changes you need to keep the script updated. Since it is just a
script usually the latest one from Sid can be used on the old Stable
with no trouble. Works for me.

You almost always need to quote the URL. See that "&" in it? That
ampersand is special to the shell. It says to run the commandin the
background. URLs often have those. Therefore you often need to quote
the URL when used as a command line option argument.

Yes, I'm glad you got back to lina on this. It's something I didn't
think to mention. I tried to answer her from work but the network
boundary stuff there took a direct lightning strike -- as in an actual
hole in the ceiling, floor, and two racks. Nice end to the week -- as in
no end to my week. Got to get a contractor in there and sort it out.
I always have youtube-dl and cclive installed. Sometimes the current one
in testing works when the other one doesn't. The iceweasel plug-ins tend
to annoy me, but I can't argue the ease of use issue. Most people are
going to be happier with them, I think.
Best regards,
Gilbert
