ytdownload's Issues

Bad Download when video title contains colon : on Windows

On Windows, via the CLI, I tried downloading the video titled TwoSet Violin & SSO: Mendelssohn Violin Concerto as follows:

ytdownload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlRRdGnzA00

this started and completed the download successfully:

Downloaded in: 24.000s
Downloaded to ./videos/TwoSet Violin & SSO: Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.mp4

But when I looked in the videos directory, there was a 0 byte file in there titled TwoSet Violin & SSO

So I'm guessing there's an issue when the video title contains colons, which are not allowed (besides for drive letters) on Windows.
