Daily Show hangs at "Downloading configuration for ..."

[ghost]

Happens on three different systems, all with the very latest youtube-dl and Python 2.7.5:

> youtube-dl --version
2013.12.11.2

I've tried with both a full episode URL and a single clip URL as I was not sure about which one is supported. It seems both should work, but both stop producing any further output as seen below.

Full episode URL: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/thu-december-12-2013-evangeline-lilly
Single clip URL: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-december-9-2013/that-thing-they-said-they-re-not-doing--they-re-totally-doing

That's it, nothing more. When running with --dump-intermediate-pages I can see that at that point it has actually found the URL containing the rtmpe URLs, but form that point on my knowledge about the inner workings of youtube-dl falls short so i'm hoping someone on here might be able to help me understand what the problem might be.

If you have seen the rtmp urls, then it means that it hangs when opening the connection for downloading the videos.
It works for me, so it may be a temporary issue with their servers.

Indeed it seems that way, now it's working for me as well. Thanks for the quick reply!
