I downloaded from the Terminal with the "youtube-dl" command .
Worked fine.

I'm familiar with a YouTube Downloader for Windows. I knew about youtube-dl, but I wanted something graphical for me, and something I could recommend to others. Now that I'm more terminal brave than before, I may investigate youtube-dl. The ClipGrab program looks tempting. But I suppose if I want to avoid browser extensions and PPAs, youtube-dl would be the better option.
So far, I have everything working the way I need and want. Ten days ago, I even finally installed (to my laptop) that Samsung SSD I bought back in November. I'm enjoying the steady state of speed and reliance. I'll experiment later.
thanks downloading the video and going to watch it over the next few days

What's 'ftw' (file tree walk)?
I used the standard
youtube-dl [video URL] to download this video.
What difference does
youtube-dl ftw [video URL] make?
