yb file broken? how to start from point onwards

[rubiohiguey]

I have a problem downloading a certain file from youtube.

youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRwA0IagPik

it gets to the point where

[download] 20.4% of 1.70GiB at 1.39MiB/s ETA 16:39
ERROR: content too short (expected 1828409431 bytes and served 373290937)

When i try to resume get the error

[download] Resuming download at byte 373290937
ERROR: Did not get any data blocks

What can b wrong? Looks like this file is broken, because even why I try to download the whole youtube link with wget (I get the link from other software) it only gets to 373290937 bytes and stops there.

The video on yb seems fine because I can watch it form any time point onwards.

Can this issue be helped, and can i get yb to start downloading form certain point onward? e.g. from 16 minutes 30 seconds, etc.

Thank you.

I'm getting this too, and when investigating the behavior with
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjYwAeAy2ow
in a variety of ways, it seems to always cut off the initial download at 25MB (25166368 bytes). Same behavior using cURL manually to test.

The server refuses to restart the stream at any position later than ~20% of the way into the file.

I think the file itself is broken when it was being uploaded/processed.
For example, watching it on youtube (streaming) it gets to like 45 minutes and then the image stops.
If I move past 45 minutes in HD, the HD option is greyed out. I don't think this is youtube-dl issue, even though it's interesting to see hy yb-dl stops at 20% while the actual youtube stream gets as far as 60%.

Trying again at my previously mentioned URL... it works. With no changes.

Some sort of deployment got rolled back? Problems in the underlying GFS breaking some files? Sun spots? Not sure yet :/

@rubiohiguey The first example is now private. Are problems still?
