Maybe we should clarify that this is a network error. Since download works fine for me from both the US and Germany, this error is almost certainly either

• A temporary outage. Can you reproduce it now?
• Censorship by your network provider, ISP, or country. Can you reproduce the issue from multiple networks? Which ISP and network (home/work/school) are you using? If you don't want to tell that publicly, feel free to contact me in private.

I am using an updated Ubuntu 13.10.
I removed and re-installed the program youtube-dl.
The number of lines of error decreased. Is it an Ubuntu specific problem?

Reinstalling will not do anything. Your first post indicated this to be a network problem.

Your second post shows a different error. Can you reproduce it with the current version of youtube-dl? To update, please type

sudo apt-get remove -y youtube-dl
sudo curl https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
hash -r

and then post the output you get for

youtube-dl --verbose http://www.redtube.com/298457

Your solution worked. Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to give me the solution.
A line or a two about the root cause analysis and why your solution worked, will be great from my learning point of view.

For my case I have to use curl with -L to folllow the redirection

sudo curl https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl -L -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Seems @abhishekbarua's problem is already solved. Closing.

@baishi The installation guide is already updated.
