A user interface for youtube-dl.
YouTube Downloader is an easy-to-use, YouTube video downloader, without pesky ads or malware.
This repository is archived, and thus will not receive further maintenance or edits. The intent of this project was to create an interface to a command-line program for learning purposes. This has been achieved.
