You don’t need any software to download you tube videos in Linux… Just follow these steps and enjoy the flvs ![]()
Step 1. Open the required video in the web browser.
Step 2. Let it start streaming/buffering.
Step 3. Minimise the window and open /tmp.
Step 4. Look for a file flash<something>
Step 5. Drag the file on to your desktop.
Step 6. Once the video is buffered in the browser, the file would have been downloaded.
Enjoy!! Cheers!!
