I have been trying to use youtubedl to download a video from dropbox. It used to work but lately it started failing. When I inspect network while downloading or viewing the video from the dropbox link I have noticed that the video file is splitted in multiple stream files (mp2t). A small file is downloaded containing the html of the dropbox page. I am not sure if it is a known issue but I couldn't find reference to this problem in the existing issues.
This is the command I run:

youtube-dl https://www.dropbox.com/s/1w26tizrrcrni1t/flumflumtree.mov?dl=0 -o vid
