Place ffmpeg in a folder you would like to download to and create a batch file there that looks like this:

rem Summary of the Games - London 2012 Olympic Games
ffmpeg.exe -i "http://www.youtube.com/api/manifest/hls_playlist/id/.../key/ck1/file/index.m3u8" -c copy "Summary of the Games - London 2012 Olympic Games.ts"
pause

after the -i is where you put the URL you've gotten inside quotes. Just make sure to remove any stuff before the http and after the m3u8.

Have fun.

thanks nwtim for all your help, you were great! i think i'm downloading now....the result is a .ts file
just another question, the last!! every video here has 3 different audio channels? how can i do to download the natural audio one? i find the way to download only the natural audio, but not the video with natural audio

I'm afraid you're ahead of me on the audio, as I'm only getting a single audio track - MPEG AAC stereo in English.

ok it is not working as i hope it to be,
i tried to -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:10:00
and i still get the no space error, maybe space is not the issue?

Try it without the -ss and -t switches first. I've had inconsistent results with them and have been getting more consistent results when specifying the parameters in seconds rather than the xx:xx:xx format.
