Please have an option to allow multiple connections when downloading the video from youtube, youtube sets limit on some videos on each connection while not on all and some download at incredibly low speeds.
Or an option to return link to download file would be apreciated.

Multithreaded downloads have been requested and discarded previously, and the same policy stands. The video URL can be obtained with -g, but you need to combine it with the --cookies option. See #41.
