Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Download over tor-proxy fails. No problem in Firefox.

TIA for any help, Peter

Error 4 indicates "Host unreachable". There's a bug in youtube-dl that error messages are incorrect.

By the way, this looks a temporary error as previous requests through the same proxy are OK. Could you try again?

Update: 100% reproducible on my machine too

[yan12125]

Python 2 is broken while Python 3 is OK. Need more checking.

Thanks for the report. It will be fixed in the next version.
