I see people asking for google and youtube video download scripts.
Here they are, with auto resume, auto filename. Great for downloading a
lot of videos.
youtube script is not entirely foolproof, since youtube servers are
flaky.
If you make improvement, please post.

Simply give a bunch of links as arguments.
USAGE:
youtube.sh 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Ztn24AFrg'
'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP91qkZFYqY'
google.sh

#!/bin/bash -x
# youtube.sh
for arg in $@
do
rrr=`date +%s`
baseurl="http://youtube.com/get_video.php?"

Ouch. This is wrong in so many ways that I can't even begin to describe
it.

rm -f "${tmpfile}"

The other script is even worse.
