I've noticed a similar problem with another Blip video.

It seems to be format specific as I can download 720p but not 1080p (default) as seen here: http://freetexthost.com/y0avvfu51y (ignore 'wget' in the first line, I had it aliased to youtube-dl as a joke)

I think this line from the OP's debug might be the culprit:

[debug] Invoking downloader on 'http://j-mirror.video2.blip.tv/Foldablehuman-S3E21EndOfEvaFollowUp254.mp4?ir=406114&sr=18170\n\n'

Although those \n\n's are also in the correct example given, I'm thinking that it should not be there at all and while most servers discard the newlines, a few of them error because of it?

Found another video which does the same thing, It appears that the problem can be worked around by catching the error and offering the SD-quality video instead, since in both cases that exists where the HD-quality video does not.

Probably duplicate of #3132.

Works with latest version. Closing.
