They're all Youtube Videos for what I'm quickly reading... That's Good!!

Well, you can use "Minitube" or "ClipGrab", Not sure if one of them has
support for subtitles... As far as I remember Minitube Doesn't and clipgrab
does not install in it's final release under F15...

What I would do in your place is Downloading and installing
minitube with "sudo yum -y install minitube" and then I'll use it
to download the videos without subtitles, after that, you can download
the subtitles track separetly from internet and then in a player such as
Smplayer or maybe VLC
you can put the subtitles into the video while watching.

Hope that helps!
