I'm not here to complain, but to comment something that I've noticed. When I download a video from twitch with y-dl, normally, I get an average download speed of 700 Kbps, and it takes ~14 minutes to download each part of the video.

When I use http://www.twitchtools.com/video-download.php to get the links and the extension DownThemAll on firefox to download them, I get an average speed of 2000 Kbps, and it takes ~6 minutes to download each part, with 2 download at the same time.

The urls are identical, I think the difference in speed is because DownThemAll uses multiple connections for downloading the file (requested for youtube-dl in #350).
