How to Limit Apt-Get Download Speed

Hello everybody, have a nice weekend! Today I'd like to show you how to limit apt-get download speed. This trick is useful when you're sharing your Internet connection among your friends or family. With this trick, you can perform such apt operation (install or upgrade) without interrupting the other members of your network.

In case, you want to limit your apt-get download speed at 20kb/s, so you should run the following command to perform apt-get operation (install or upgrade):

• sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::Dl-Limit=20K install package_name

Please take a look at statement  "Acquire::http::Dl-Limit=20K", replace "20K" with your desired download speed. This trick was tested and worked well on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot Beta 2, but it should works on other versions of Ubuntu too.

Got questions? Have something in your mind? Please don't be a stranger, just fill in the form :)

How to Download All Videos of YouTube Playlist on Ubuntu

Imagine you have a playlist on YouTube that contains hundreds of videos in it and you want to download them, what will you do? Do you really want to download them one by one? I think that's not a good idea. So, in this my first post, I'd like to show you how download all videos of YouTube playlist by simply type a few commands.

Applications used:
In order to getting this trick done, we have to install two applications called umph and youtube-dl. Umph is such an application that can parse YouTube feeds, it can parse playlists, favourite lists, and user upload lists. Youtube-dl is well-known command line tool for downloading YouTube videos by giving their video links.



Installing applications:
Fortunately, I've created a PPA contains those two applications. Simply type the following command to install them:

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install umph youtube-dl

Usage instructions:

• umph playlist_ID | youtube-dl -l -a -

You can get playlist_ID from playlist URL, for example, we will download all videos in PHPAcademy 200 JQuery Tutorials, see the picture below for more details.

Take a look at part marked with red box, you will get the weird phrase "PL46408891B63317A4". By removing the "PL" characters, now you have the playlist ID: 46408891B63317A4. You're ready to go:

• umph 46408891B63317A4 | youtube-dl -l -a -

By default, umph will parse 25 videos. So, by executing the above command you will download the first video until 25th video. If you want to download all videos (200 videos) you must add an argumen "-m 200".

• umph -m 200 46408891B63317A4 | youtube-dl -l -a -

The tricky part is in umph command line arguments, please take look at this documentation for further information.

Have a question? Please let me know by filling in the comment form :)
