I'm getting this error, while downloading a video from youtube. This error occurs only sometimes if I try several downloads for the same video:

Can you post the entire output you get when you pass in the -v option? Also, are you running the latest version of youtube-dl? Type sudo youtube-dl -U to update.

I have the last version of youtube-dl and this issue occurs only sometimes, sometimes is working good for the same video.
The command:
youtube-dl -o video.mp4 -v http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxMHWP7I8os

and the output:

@AndreiArba, That downloaded fine for me. I think that you perhaps have an older version installed by your distro.

Try sudo youtube-dl -U to update to the most recent version.
