Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I am using Lyndor-master for Lynda.com video downloader in windows 10 for about two weeks from now. lately I encountered an issue on which command line pauses during the process and it takes unknown time to download each individual videos for URLs. I talked about this issue with the Lyndor programmer and he/she refered me to contact you. FYI I have the latest pip, youtube-dl and Lyndor program updated.
