Hi,

I have a problem with a youtube video. This is my terminal screen:
youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt8DY6xvsFM -f 22
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] Bt8DY6xvsFM: Downloading webpage
[youtube] Bt8DY6xvsFM: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] Bt8DY6xvsFM: Extracting video information
[download] Destination: [Lesson] Ryze movement_zoning vs melee tops.-Bt8DY6xvsFM.mp4
[download] 100% of 600.97MiB in 00:00
ERROR: content too short (expected 630166905 bytes and served 85411)

I don't know what causes it, and it happens only with this video.

This video is really weird. In my testing, most of the formats wont start downloading at all, just giving HTTP server errors, while formats 18 and 22 only return about 85 KB. Only format 17, the 144p mobile version, downloads correctly. The resulting files have valid headers and MediaInfo can read them and reports the correct length for the video.

Interestingly, the top comment in one of the reddit threads for this video talks about how it won't load. If you just want to watch the video, someone in that thread also links to the original Twitch VOD. Unless some else more familiar with YouTube's shenanigans has a better idea of what's going on, I'm inclined to chalk this up to YouTube breaking something.
