Am not able to download a bunch of videos from 2012 Olympics

As the title says, I am not able to download videos from the 2012 Olympics.

Youtube-dl previously worked with these videos. I had a list of about 40 that I was downloading and had completed some.

Now, however, all (those downloaded and those not) have the same error as listed below.

youtube-dl -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best --verbose lqQg6PlCWgI
