--datebefore and --dateafter function not working

[FKLinguista]

Hello all!
I just started using youtube-dl and all was going well until I tried to download some videos from a certain YouTube channel from February 1, 2013 to October 26, 2014. Here is the script that I used:
youtube-dl --dateafter 20130201 --datebefore 20131026 --download-archive /Videos/cluggy/.archive -o "/Videos/cluggy/%(title)s.%(ext)s" --restrict-filenames https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCckl4Ok39mExuzHxjE-10bg
This individual has 150+ videos on his channel, and I discovered after putting in these parameters, that youtube-dl began downloading from the very first video he uploaded and continued on and on until I killed the process from another terminal session. Is this a user error problem or have I uncovered a bug?

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this. Can you include the output you get with -v?

youtube-dl --get-title https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCckl4Ok39mExuzHxjE-10bg --dateafter 20130201 --datebefore 20131026

which looks perfectly fine to me. Do you get a different result?

You may be confused by the fact that youtube-dl needs to download the video page to get the upload date. That's because we don't preload the upload date from the playlist, and don't support --date-before there yet.

I can reproduce this on windows 7 x64 with latest youtube-dl
In my case the dateafter is set to 20141223

@Jan02 that's correct behavior. What are you trying to achieve?
