I've looked at youtube-dl. I've never used it, but I did take a peek at the code.

The user agent it sends (ends in "Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0 (Chrome)") is fairly identifiable as coming from youtube-dl. Type it into Google to see for yourself. I have no idea what Youtube's opinion towards youtube-dl might be, or if its usage would be considered to be outside of their policy limits, but still - I wonder why the author chose that user agent.

At least, the copy of the program that I looked at had the described user agent, as default.
