https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/download/2018.08.22/youtube-dl is malformed.

For some reasons it contains this string as its first line:

#!/usr/bin/env python

This is patently wrong. Please fix the archive (tail -n +2 youtube-dl > youtube-dl.fixed will do) and reupload.

It's not an archive in the first but rather a zipped python executable app.

It's a zip archive and nothing else. Python won't be able to run it.

Please check yourself.
