you can't get it simpler then that.
You may already know youtube-dl, a popular Python script which allows you to easily download a youtube video. Well, there is another program which mimics this behavior, but works for more then just youtube, and it's called cclive.
CClive started out as a perl program under the name of clive, but the C++ rewrite is simpler and has a smaller memory footprint. Cclive has the same usage as youtube-dl:
cclive <URL>you can't get it simpler then that.
I wanted to use this, so I decided to package it for Ubuntu, there was no package available yet, so this blog entry is to tell you about my new PPA entry for cclive. Debian unstable has a package for it already, so for debian you can find it here.
The 0.5.5 release supported sites are
$ ./cclive --hosts
