Earlier today I was running YT-DL for other videos and would have to run the same command 6-18 times depending on the video size it would "timeout" using a wired connection with NAS speeds of up to 700mbps I was only getting 6-11Mbps (presumably server side limitations) so I would have to repeated run the same command multiple times to get one video to download completely.

now roughly 12 hours later, when I run the command I get this Http 500 Error. does this mean YT-DL error or server I am trying to download from has an error? Is this a simple wait and try again later or something more complicated? thanks in advance.

Please close/delete, I realized my issue now, I used the referer URL as the source URL.
