holy crap this is cool!

this is the only
simple youtube dl'er i've found that gives you a human readable filename!

that feature alone makes this one very cool.

the other thing that's nice is gawk is a small package without so many possible config snafus.

python, perl, ruby, etc. are quite large and there's more possibility of some config problem rearing up.

a python dl'er is my 2d fav to this one. but the filename thing is still an annoyance with the python solution i was using.
