I used 

user@ubuntu:~/Arbeitsfläche$ sudo youtube-dl -citw ytuser: raz\ malca

to download all videos from this channel. But it wodnloads only one:

user@ubuntu:~/Arbeitsfläche$ sudo youtube-dl -citw ytuser: raz\ malca
[generic] ytuser:: Requesting header
ERROR: Invalid URL protocol; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output. Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update.
WARNING: Falling back to youtube search for  raz malca . Set --default-search to "auto" to suppress this warning.
[youtube:search] query "raz malca": Downloading page 1

[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] R72vpqqNSDw: Downloading webpage
[youtube] R72vpqqNSDw: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] R72vpqqNSDw: Extracting video information

I use the newest version of this programm. My system is ubuntu 13.10 :)

Has anyone a idea ?

First of all, don't run youtube-dl with sudo - normal user rights suffice. There is also absolutely no need to pass in -ctw. But the main problem is that your command line contains a superfluous space after ytuser:. In any case, even if the space weren't there, raz malca is not a valid YouTube user ID. There is, however, a channel named so. Simply pass in that channel's URL into youtube-dl:

youtube-dl -i https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmQSqOPhkawAdndZgjfanA
0

to find out the channel's URL, do an inspect on the user that created the channel. E.g. for the channel mix - o grande amor (Tom Jobim) - Solo Guitar by Chiba Kosei, right click (in Firefox) on Chiba Kosei and select inspect element. Notice that the channel is in the href part. So copy that and your final channel-url is https://youtube.com/channel/UC5q9SrhlCJ4YciPTLLNTR5w

a href="/channel/UC5q9SrhlCJ4YciPTLLNTR5w" class="yt-uix-sessionlink g-hovercard spf-link " data-ytid="UC5q9SrhlCJ4YciPTLLNTR5w" data-sessionlink="itct=CDIQ4TkiEwjBvtSO7v3KAhWPnr4KHUYMDbko-B0">Chiba Kosei
