Silly me. "get-youtube" is my bash function for youtube-dl and my
fingers just type it automatically. It has some extra logic, including
maintaining a history file to prevent accidently downloading the same
thing twice. "get-others" handles the other sites and shares the same
history file.

The history file is vital when you have, say, 300MB medleys with multiple
links pointing to them, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_6xmqAc9RE
which I might otherwise have downloaded seven times through the
different links.

Cheers,
David.
