Download YouTube videos with wget

I usually use keepvid.com or a Firefox download helper plugin for dowloading YouTube videos. Is it possible to download them with the wget command available in Linux?

Also, I have a VPS server. I want to download videos on my VPS server (cPanel).

If is possible and if so how?

Thanks.

Can I download Youtube videos with wget?

Windows users can get wget here. First locate the url of the video you want to download. This command will quickly download the page's html. Since Youtube has other flash objects and related videos we need to find the one we want.

I would recommend youtube-dl as a console downloader from YouTube and other video sites.
