Please remember that these guys make a great job and invest lots of time to provide these usefull information. That said consider to support them for their great work and Sign Up for a free account, follow them on Twitter, share their content or whatever ... I'm traveling and the Hotel internet sucks hard, so i share this infos for others with slow and anoying internet connections.

Update:

I wrote a small npm module to automate this task: get-links-cli.

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl

brew install youtube-dl

Execute the snippet and past it into a Textfile to download later via the Youtube Downloader.

let a=[];document.querySelectorAll('.title a').forEach(l => a.push(l.href));copy(a.join('\n'));

Info: Clipboard support may not work with every Browser: http://caniuse.com/#feat=clipboard.

document.querySelectorAll('.title a').forEach(l => console.dir(l.href))

The tip to use console.dir() came from tucq88 who run in some issues with to long URL's which Chrome shorten via "...".

Info: console.dir is not an official standard yet it may or may not work in your current Browser.

let a=[];document.querySelectorAll('.title a').forEach(l => a.push(l.href));console.log(a);

document.querySelectorAll('.title a').forEach(link => console.log(link.href))

This was the original solution but can cause problems with too long URL's which the Browser shorten between with "...".

Save the collected links in a Textfile list.txt and run:

youtube-dl -i -o "%(autonumber)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" -a list.txt

This Tip comes from torfeld6

Download Pro content without clicking through the whole playlist:

youtube-dl -i -o "%(autonumber)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" -a list.txt --cookie ../cookies.txt

The cookies.txt can be downloaded via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookiestxt/njabckikapfpffapmjgojcnbfjonfjfg
