So far I hadn't found any problem with the bandcamp downloader, but I encountered this problem today: impossible to batch download the songs of this page: http://dotscale.bandcamp.com:

More precisely, it loops with the same messages:

[xxx@yyy ~]$ youtube-dl -v http://dotscale.bandcamp.com
[debug] System config: []
[debug] User config: []
[debug] Command-line args: ['-v', 'http://dotscale.bandcamp.com']

... (loops infinitely with the same messages)

Yet it works when downloading a single song:

[xxx@yyy ~]$ youtube-dl http://dotscale.bandcamp.com/track/loom-2
[Bandcamp] loom-2: Downloading webpage
[Bandcamp] 3939671518: Downloading free downloads page
[Bandcamp] 3939671518: Requesting download url
[download] Destination: Loom-3939671518.mp3
[download] 100% of 22.03MiB in 00:18

And again thanks for youtube-dl, it's awesome :)

Thanks for the report, fixed. This kind of links will be supported in the next version of youtube-dl.
Yet with current version you can download it using this URL: http://dotscale.bandcamp.com/album/loom.

The _VALID_URL 1fa1746 is to broad, since it matches everything beginning with bandcamp.com.
