from the man page 

           clive can handle multiple URLs in one go. One way to do this, is to
           specify each on the command line as arguments. An alternative
           source could be a file. For example:

             cat >> urls.lst
             http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUM1284TqFc
             http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqgTz8ymZl8
             (CTRL+D)
             clive < urls.lst

           Make a note that each URL must be separated with a newline
           character.
