Hello.
Is it possible to add the option "size" wich save the downloaded video size in file in bytes.
For example youtube-dl -size /var/temp/ytsize_111.txt K1y6MGERJYA
This is needed ( for me ) to make shure that the video is downloaded 100%.

Thank you.

Since we don't get the size until just before the download starts, and even then only sometimes, I think implementing #152 is superior. Leaving this bug open, but without a patch I'll consider #152 first.
