Downloads the comments on YouTube videos.
Used to be available at ytcomments.klostermann.ca but that IP got banned because of overuse.
- WARNING - Do not overuse this program, or maybe you will get IP-banned. The authors' GUI website did.

See my youtube-comment-scraper.sh script for how I use it.

A commandline downloader for YouTube videos and playlists (and not comments). Also works for a surprising number of other websites.
It has no competition, so I guess I can say that it'll have to do, but it really is good.

youtube-comment-scraper for comments.

was github.com/gantt/downloadyoutube
A cross-browser script that adds a button to download YouTube videos as MP4 and FLV files. This script downloads the videos directly from YouTube and it integrates with YouTube's interface.
It creates a button under the video, to the left of "Add to".
Indispensable!
Abandoned, check out yt-dlp
Problem - YouTube comments do not display line breaks. This is seen with both my own comments and those from others.
2016-06-27 - This magically self-repaired either due to a Pale Moon update to 26.3.1 (x86), or YouTube fixing their shit.

Given a YouTube or Vimeo URL, downloads the underlying video file, with a sensible file name. It downloads the highest resolution version of the video available: first it tries HD MP4, then regular MP4, then WebM, and finally FLV. It also works on playlists, and works as a bookmarklet to download the video you're watching.
I liked it well enough.

At a glance, there are ways but they are annoying. It's better to use an RSS reader. I'll check that out eventually.
I thought YouTube didn't do RSS any more, but Brad left a comment with details. They are untested.
