Also, Didier, mpsyt doesn't let you comment on videos or log in....but 
I'm in two minds about that. you can read comments, yes, but you can't 
post comments, whereas youtube-viewwer lets you post comments but 
(unless I missed it) not sort by filter options, i.e. upload date, view 
count, etc. To test my message on youtube-dl vs mpsyt download speeds, I 
downloaaded the same video with both. Youtube-DL downloaded it in approx 
30s at 1.8mb/S whereas mpsyt was stuck at 130 kb/s max
