Download YouTube videos with wget

Fatih Toprak picture Fatih Toprak · Jan 16, 2013 · Viewed 39k times · Source

I usually use keepvid.com or a Firefox download helper plugin for dowloading YouTube videos. Is it possible to download them with the wget command available in Linux?

Also, I have a VPS server. I want to download videos on my VPS server (cPanel).

If is possible and if so how?

Thanks.

I would recommend youtube-dl as a console downloader from YouTube and other video sites.
