Dailymotion - HTTP 403 Forbidden

youtube-dl fails to download videos from dailymotion.
Tried many links, most of them fail consistently.
Some can still be downloaded but fail the next time I run youtube-dl on them.

It works fine here, can you watch the videos on a browser?

[vgrachev8]

Yes, they all play ok in a browser...

Apparently some limitation are imposed by Dailymotion to the IP addresses I tried youtube-dl from.
Not a youtube-dl problem, closing.
