Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Youtube-dl finished downloading link1, then finds out link2 is private but does not continue with the rest of the links.

I expected youtube-dl to continue trying to download with link3 and further so it can show which of the links were OK and which ones were private.

This saves running youtube-dl multiple times with different URLs each requiring entering the password manually.

I can share affected URLs privately if needed to solve the issue.

This is expected behavior. Use -i.
