Hi guys,

System stop when downloading.

Hi,
can you try again with --prefer-insecure? Looks like ssl error to me.

[phihag]

This is definitly not an SSL error, but simply a network error - the remote end hung up on the connection. Can you reproduce the problem? How often does it occur? I'd assume that this is either a temporary fault of YouTube, or a temporary fault in your Internet connection, or malicious RST packet injection by your ISP.

It's been a while since this has been originally reported, and the reporting user hasn't provided the requested info.

I think we can close this ticket.
