youtube-dl with the --proxy knob fails. As example,
Works: youtube-dl -F "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpP4gGYuZSU"
Fails: youtube-dl --proxy 192.168.2.55 "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpP4gGYuZSU"

The proxy IP stated above is a privoxy -> tor_s5 chain and Privoxy takes care of socksifying.

Suggestions on debug methods (curl/wget) please.

Don't you miss the proxy port? How do you forward privoxy to tor? Provide us more info: enable debugging in privoxy to see incoming requests, post full youtube-dl log with --verbose option passed.

It was as simple as "--proxy 192.168.2.55:8118". I neglected to specify the port as you observed. Sorry for the noise.
