Title: Use net/http streaming downloader instead of open-uri and choose download tool

Hey! I changed the the net/http downloader to use the stream download api instead of using open-uri and read. This prevents the memory spike you otherwise get when the whole video is read in to memory prior to being saved.

I also added the ability to choose the download tool using a command line option.

And finally I added a net/http download to the integration test (found a really small video for it too).
