Can follow what you are doing in large measure, socks5 is?, and any chance of doing it without tor. Just installed youtube-dl, with two other packages installed, dependencies (libvdpau1 mplayer2) and suggested, not installed yet (nvidia-vdpau-driver vdpau-driver), would appreciate remarks about those.
You don't have to use Tor, but it just adds some anonymity to the connection; fwiw... a straight http download should be fine, especially since it isn't blocked coming from the Tor network. You know, the abc is OUR public broadcaster, why they should charge us anything for content is beyond me. The hassles of iView is best left to a catchup TV box, but the content is, ours.... or at least it should be as citizens of this country. I accept that LNP likes to rip out funds from the public broadcaster and they falsely accuse them of being left wing. Of course there is more to all of this, but I'm not going to entertain any arguments for or against extra user pays that are required to get the other downloads from the abc. The reason those other two episodes couldn't be download is because they become "pay for" programs. The abc is FAR TOO COMMERCIAL for my liking, it should never be that way. Cheers AndrewM
