After downloading the latest version when running "youtube-dl -t http://vimeo.com/111234575", I get this error:

/home/cjf/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/options.py:647: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
[vimeo:user] 111234575: Downloading page 1
ERROR: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (caused by HTTPError()); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

youtube-dl --version
2014.12.10.3

It also fails with version 2014.11.15.1.

The link you posted contains some (invisible) unicode bytes at the end: http://vimeo.com/111234575%EF%BB%BF. Remove the %EF%BB%BF and it works fine: http://vimeo.com/111234575.

As @cryptonaut said, the URL you posted looks valid to the human eye, but ends with a zero-width non-breaking space, and thus requesting the whole URL results in 404. Remove the character.

By the way, -t is deprecated. There is no reason to use it.
