Hi,

Thank you for youtube-dl. Great tool!
Here is an example of failure to access the URL for a cute little video of Galapagos birds. My PC OS is linuxmint-16-KDE , part of ubuntu family, released 22 December. A complete diallog follows:

It looks like you installed youtube-dl with a package manager, pip, setup.py or a tarball. Please use that to update.

We'll have to add support for Dropbox.

I'm on it. It's fairly simple, we just need to download with UA curl/7.

With a current version of youtube-dl, this works just fine. It looks like you installed youtube-dl via pip, so type sudo pip -U youtube-dl to update.
