the height means no bigger than 1080 but if 1080 does not exist go to the next best down. i have a virtual desktop(tiling manager) that my downloads download at visually like wget youtube-dl and thats why i use xterm -e keeps them out of the way and trying to draw ontop elinks. the terminal automatically closes when done.
xterm -e yourube-dl --restrict-filename -o "~/downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" -f "best[height<=?1080]" $1
