Best way to download YT playlist ?

[hotshot05]

I use youtube-dl, works everywhere: windows, Linux, OS X, raspberry pi, my washing machine

I installation instructions are simple and once installed run this:

youtube-dl -cit <YouTube video link or playlist link>

options:
c - resume
i - ignore errors
t - use title

Which resolution video does it download by default?

 

[avi]

^highest available. However it has lots of customisation options: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#video-selection
