Question

I cannot install the youtube-dl through homebrew:

homebrew command:
brew install youtube-dl

output:
Updating Homebrew...
==> Downloading https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases/download/2019.11
0.5%
curl: (56) LibreSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno 54
Error: An exception occurred within a child process:
DownloadError: Failed to download resource "youtube-dl"
Download failed: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases/download/2019.11.28/youtube-dl-2019.11.28.tar.gz

The download process just stick and later shows an error...

How can I install youtube-dl now? Is the network proxy issue or something else?

Probably a temporary network issue on your end. It downloads fine for me. I'd try it again in a little while.

Pretty disappointing for me...tried several times already..

That's just the nature of the internet. Not everybody has the same route to the target destination. So there could be a problem along the route for you, but not for me. And sometimes for me and not for you.

Other downloads work fine though im guessing?

Okay... embarrassing... I uninstall my ffmpeg, then install ffmpeg again.

Now I lost my ffmpeg.

Okay, good news, after a while, I install ffmpeg successfully.

homebrew is not an official installation method. Address this to homebrew support.
