Hey guys.
So, I am trying to modify a script to download youtube videos.
I want to have a bash script, and couldn't find anything already done on the
web, so I looked around and found this: https://calomel.org/youtube_wget.html
They use Perl, but I want to use bash (besides Perl is freaking
problem with youtube-dl is the lack of support for Tor.
I have been working to make this script to be only bash, some basic
sed/grep/cut/whatever and curl (which has Tor support).
I know it is not "simple" but thought that maybe someone could give me
pointers on the link I provided as "this

your first post & last sentence indicates that you wish to download while
using TOR
This will reveal your non-Tor IP address and de-anonymize you

BitTorrent is a special case because of the way the protocol works and the
way BitTorrent clients behave. You can't generalize all downloading based on
what they say about BitTorrent.
PDFs and other documents are also a special case. There isn't anything in
video formats that can specify
Where do you get the idea that downloading something will reveal your IP
address from that? It's not very nice for the network, but if the program is
properly configured, there's no particular danger.
Tor is not aimed at downloading videos from youtube!
and even less for Torrents
Even for PDF it is not recommended by the

Anonimity matters!

That is correct, about torrenting over Tor - it **will** reveal punctually
and always your real IP address. Consider though, as Onpon said, that if you
configure properly **any** application which support the use of tor, then you
can download and stay safe. Also, downloading PDFs and Docs
Darn then i've been ""over precautious"" :)
You see i always seen that as a potential risk
Thanks Opon4 & SuperTramp83 :-)
So why do they allow the Tor browser to view PDF in the built-in viewer? It
seems like something they should advise against.
GNUser: "They use Perl, but I want to use bash (besides Perl is freaking
weird to me, never learned to work with it). Basically I need only to learn
how to look through the html of a youtube video page, and get the video url
to download."
Remember that bash is not a general purpose
You need to work out how Youtube streams its videos now. I doubt it would
simply have some hidden file with each video: it seems to send the user it in
parts, which can then be assembled into a single video. Therefore you need to
work out how you can make Youtube think you are streaming the
Hey guys.
Tried Magic Banana's method of "youtube-dl --external-downloader" but it
doesn't work. I suppose youtube-dl still makes it own connection to DNS
server, and my firewall is rejecting non-torified access (which is not a bug,
I actually set it like that to prevent leaks).
So, yeah,
I'd think the built-in PDF viewer would fetch external resources the same as
the rest of the browser, which means through Tor. If that's the case (and it
would be really strange if it isn't), then there's no danger.
Hi, can you make some example command for download a video from youtube? and
save it to .webm.
I always download with DownThemAll plugin.
A program already exists for this purpose; it is called youtube-dl, and is in
Trisquel's repositories. It can also download videos from other websites. It
is not as simple as a script that finds where Youtube stores the file for the
video. You should look at the youtube-dl source code if you
