Because it downloads all the videos I'm interested in successfully.
I install software on an as needed basis.

I'll do the maths from my previous post, "The version
I installed from backports on Jan 28 was 11 days old",
so it's dated 2019-01-17.

Not interested. You're obviously a more serious user, and so your
managing to cope with escaping characters has been a benefit from

my workflow patterns. If they're of any benefit to others, fine.
Otherwise ignore them.
