You can't contact the youtube server so you can't download the FLV files either. ipredator seems like a good choice, but you do have to pay. I can't believe the Chinese government would block such a high-traffic website. I am screwed without my youtube videos, specially the one's GAS has articles about :( You can't really use TOR or a anonymous surfing site (like http://www.anonymizer.com).
