More fun with Downloading Youtube Videos - old post October 2017

If you use youtube-dl to download playlists, the download speed will often slow to a crawl. You can get around that with two methods, 1) keep the terminal where the script is running open, or 2) issue the command using the screen tool, e.g. "screen sudo youtube-dl , then just pressing Ctrl-A-D, closing the window (Putty), and going about your merry way.
