Sorry that I missed it. I was sure that youtube-dl is youtube-only.

Well, I attempted to compare. They are similar, but digging deeper
difference is against you-get:

|            | commits | contributors | language |   |
|------------+---------+--------------+----------+---|
| youtube-dl | ~7k     | ~60          | python2  |   |
|------------+---------+--------------+----------+---|
| you-get    | ~700    | ~250         | python3  |   |
|------------+---------+--------------+----------+---|

Well, there is sites, supported by you-get, not supported by youtube-dl,
but I am personally not interested. I will close bug.
