Custom option --bind-address

[vanilla38]

Hello, since I use tortoise svn i cannot make a pull request so I share it this way:

I made a new option --bind-address which let you choose what address you will use to download with youtube-dl, of course, this address should be available for your computer.

in init.py @ line 152, add this:

general.add_option('--bind-address', dest='bindaddress', default=None, help='Use the specified ip address', metavar='CUSTOMIP')

Then in init.py @ line 350 after: opts, args = parser.parse_args(argv)
add this:

if opts.bindaddress:
true_socket = socket.socket
def bound_socket(_a, *_k):
sock = true_socket(_a, *_k)
sock.bind(("%s" % opts.bindaddress, 0))
return sock
socket.socket = bound_socket

Finally still in init.py, add this @ line 590:
'bindaddress': opts.bindaddress,

Sorry for this way of posting but i'm not familiar with Git.

Starting from youtube-dl 2015.01.10.1, you can make use of the --source-address option. See our FAQ if you need help updating.
