Description

For the past few days, I've been getting this message randomly when I download youtube videos. This happens on several computers, not only the one I'm currently on.

If I retry downloading the video immediately afterwards, it works without any problem.

Before each video download, I run the command "youtube-dl --rm-cache-dir" to make sure I don't encounter the 403 error I might have encountered before.

Most likely caused by your proxy.

Most likely caused by your proxy.

Hey. Also tried removing the proxy to download from the regular internet connection. Same thing, unfortunately.

Do you have the possibility to try to download about ten videos one after the other to try to reproduce this on your side?
