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.

Thanks.
