You can also use youtube-dl for that. Just copy the url of the video. In case you don't know about the link. Just right click & see View Frame Info you'll see the video url there. Then

youtube-dl videourl

You can use wget for that.

type the following command on terminal:

 apt­-get install wget

Download a single file using wget.

 wget "your video url link"

  • This does not work for videos. Unless there is a special flag which you haven't mentioned. – KeyC0de Jun 08 '17 at 18:19
  • wget should be fine, unless the url is not the video src but the page then it will grab the html page. – Blkc Jun 25 '18 at 17:28

You can use movgrab.

To install Movgrab:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install movgrab

Check this for more information

Or you can download the source, extract it and compile it:

 wget https://sites.google.com/site/columscode/files/movgrab-1.2.1.tar.gz
 tar xvf movgrab-1.2.1.tar.gz
 cd movgrab-1.2.1/
 ./configure

You could use this:

wget --force-yes "'echo$http:url'"

and it might work fine this way.
