Description

I tried to download a youtube video and the download link extraction seems to work perfect but when the downloader is initiated with the download link, the link does not respond, in the browser or in any other downloader, let alone youtube-dl's internal downloader. I think google is doing something to avoid tools like this to download their content. Any ideas??? Am I the only one facing this issue. This issue works with any youtube link, so feel free to try.

@dstftw At least add a reference to the original issue before closing this, it would be much helpful than labeling this issue as duplicate.

EDIT:

youtube-dl seems to work good now, But I can't get why it did not work in the past... Sorry to waste your time.
