No software needed.

Watch any youtube video in your browser… or at least get it loading and pause it. When the entire video is buffered do the following:

ls -l /tmp/Flash*

Depending on how many browser sessions you have had and how many videos you have watched there may multiple files listed. Pick the one closest to the time you started loading the video in your browser. To verify just play any /tmp/Flash* file with your favorite video player that can handle .flv videos.

mplayer /tmp/Flash{whatever}

Once you are sure you have identified the right file for the video you want to copy then just:

cp /tmp/Flash{whatever} ~/desired-name.flv

Tips: Make sure the video is fully cached in the player in your browser so when you do the cp you get a complete copy of the file. Make sure to cp before you to surf away from that video to another video… or the fully cached video will probably get deleted from /tmp.
