Trouble getting specific videos to download

[keybounce]

I am running into speed issues when downloading from Daily motion (takes more than 22 minutes to download a 22 minute video).

My attempt to deal with this? Download multiple files at once, in the background.
To do that, I tried to get the URL's from the individual files.

Note that even though it was given a single video URL, with the authorization cookie, it winds up downloading a generic page's playlist.

The goal was to do something like
youtube-dl -g | xargs -1 youtube-dl {} &
to download each file in the background, at the same time.

(Since that did not work, the next choice, obviously, is to let it run overnight :-).
