Examples (For End-Users)
Display the information of the video without downloading:
$ you-get -i http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M
Download the video:
$ you-get http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M
Download multiple videos:
$ you-get http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bQlxQJEzLk
By default, program will skip any video that already exists in the local directory when downloading. If a temporary file (ends with a “.download” filename extension) is found, program will resume the download from last session.
To enforce re-downloading of videos, use ‘-f’ option (this will overwrite any existing video or temporary file, rather than skipping or resuming them):
$ you-get -f http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M
Set the output directory for downloaded files:
$ you-get -o ~/Downloads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M
Use a specific HTTP proxy for downloading:
$ you-get -x 127.0.0.1:8087 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M
By default, Python will apply the system proxy settings (i.e. environment variable $http_proxy). To cancel the use of proxy, use ‘–no-proxy’ option:
$ you-get --no-proxy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M
Command-Line Options
For a complete list of all available options, see:
$ you-get --help
