Some youtube videos can be downloaded properly, but some of them cannot be downloaded with error: http.client.IncompleteRead. While all the videos can be played in explorer.
I searched the closed issues and found that @dstftw had said it was an error caused by proxy. However, video can be played in the explorer correctly. I think there should be other reasons causing this issue.
