Movgrab
Movgrab is a command-line movie downloader for sites like YouTube. It has no dependencies; everything that's needed should be there in the tar.gz package. Movgrab can connect through an HTTP proxy, can output the download to stdout for piping into another program, and can fork into the background to free up the console. When forked into the background, its progress can still be seen in a ps list.

Hey, if any of you people get this to build on 64-bit systems, let me know, because I'm hearing on the grapevine that it doesn't?
In fact, if you use it on anything other than 32-bit linux, let me know!
