youtube-dl -U doesn't work anymore

Hi, I used to update youtube-dl regulary using the '-U' which worked all the time. But now:

Updating to version 2015.01.08 ...

Maybe something with my Pythen Installatione ?

Hope that helps.
Thanks

Most likely the result of upgrading to Python 2.7.9, which does include certificate verification, and a botched certificate setup on FreeBSD.

Just for reference, can you visit https://yt-dl.org/ in a browser?
What does curl https://yt-dl.org/ >/dev/null or wget -O /dev/null https://yt-dl.org/ output?

Thank you for the report. I believe this issue to be fixed in youtube-dl 2015.01.09 and newer. Unfortunately, to get there, you'll have to run a workaround command once:

sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

After that, updating should work again.
