Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

The actual video online is 20:41 long and from -F query we can see 242.58MB of total size. Run the default cmd and found 43.86MB being downloaded and the actual length of the downloaded file is about 10 minutes only. This happens on pretty much all long videos I tried for youku.
