From this moment on nothing happens and the script gets stuck often and should be stopped manually.

Are you having a problem with a specific video?

--socket-timeout should work.
As @clampak said, do you have any problem with youtube-dl?

[mickyz]

the option --socket-timeout 2 (seconds?) not always exit and anyway without re-try the download :(

--retries.
