Anything to do with your other post about YouTube?

Yes, you can download them with wget or curl. You can also install one of the MANY easily-found Firefox extensions that do it.

You can install youtube-dl, it is part of the Ubuntu repository, so you can install it using apt-get or Synaptic.
Documentation for that can be found here: http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/documentation.html

Thanks a lot TobiSGB. I have downloaded and installed youtube-dl. Now I am downloading a youtube video.
Also, please assist me to say if the download fails in between because of internet disconnectivity , can I resume the download (from the point it broke) rather than redownloading it all again. It w'd be very useful while downloading large file. Please let me know any command for the same. Thanks again for the helpful info.
