Many schools and businesses use a firewall to block access to YouTube, making it difficult to access.If your school or office firewall blocks access to YouTube you may be able to use a proxy service to get get around the firewalls and access any website you want.
How an anonymizer gets around a firewall
An anonymizer or Private web-surfing service gets around your school’s firewall by setting up a connection between your computer and the anonymizer service or proxy, so the firewall only sees the connection from you to them. The anonymizer’s computers then connect to YouTube.com (or Hotmail, Myspace, etc) with their internet connection and send the data back to you. To the school’s firewall it looks like your computer is connecting to the proxy’s web address and not Youtube.com.
Get to You-Tube from work or school, even through a firewall by using an Anonymizer or Private web surfing site
For years internet privacy experts have been using anonymizers, Proxies, private web-surfing services and other identity hiding software or services to get to websites privately.
These anonymizers and Anonymous web surfing services are usually used to hide your tracks while surfing the internet making it impossible for anyone to trace what web-pages you have visited - but you can also use anonymizers and proxies to access YouTube and other websites at school or work that are blocked by a firewall. These anonymous web surfing services when used together with Firefox will usually let you get around any firewall.

The easiest way to download videos from YouTube I think is to use one of available free software products out there. I have discovered Ares Tube - free software which is pretty simple and works well. With help of Ares Tube you can download Youtube videos not only from YouTube, but also from Metacafe, Google Video, Blip TV, Daily Motion and MySpace.
Another great feature is video converter who lets you to convert downloaded video file directly into iTunes and next time, when you plug in your iPod, video will be automatically transfered to it.
Another great feature of this soft is built-in browser that allows you to easy browse and search for the videos and download stuff you like. Unfortunately Area Tube is available only for Windows users but for Mac OS X users I can suggest TubeSock soft (it also have Windows version) which basically have all the same features - downloading videos from youtube and convert them to iPod supperted format.
