Works nicely here ;) I like clive esp. because it's written in perl and can be hacked on more easily ;)
I can not make it work: +++·······················

And that syntax is directly out of the man page. But cclive does, so the url is correct: +++·······················

On my main computer I'm happy with trickle and youtube-dl, the combo solves all my problems. However, I often use an old laptop to do long downloads while my main computer is powered off (less electricity: 50W vs 200W). This laptop is 32 bit, and it happens that "trickle" is not available in 32 bit. Maybe I'll have a go at building it.
Should work also and even has a --throttle option/config. It throttles smoothly (if not very accurate '--throttle 50' resulted in ~46KB/s.
Both are available from the "home:dnh" repos (and packman), and quvi is at the "oss" repo (and packman). It is unclear if they can download subtitles.
Do you have a sample url?
I don't have one right now with subtitles. Many report they have, but often they don't exist. Only "youtube-dl" is capable of getting them, apparently. I can use: youtube-dl --skip-download --write-sub --sub-lang 'en,es' \ -f FORMAT URL to get them, and clive to get the video at low speed. One further interesting feature of youtube-dl is this one: -U, --update update this program to latest version. Make sure that you have sufficient permissions (run with sudo if needed) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
