Please consider adding support for downloading twitch.tv "Past Broadcasts".

URLs for these look like this: http://www.twitch.tv/channelname/b/NNNNNNN . Given such a URL, you can download http://api.justin.tv/api/clip/show/NNNNNN.xml to get an xml file with various metadata. The tag /objects/object/video_file_url contains a URL to download the video file itself. You can also get the video title from /objects/object/title.
