Is that on the same machine you're reporting this issue? And what output do you get when you enter

youtube-dl --version
env | grep -i proxy

?

1.- our programmer manager "magicly erased the squid | proxy ip tables configuration "BY MISTAKE"...
2.- after that my youtube-dl run with no problems, but, i have to run it using perl, wich means:
3.- # perl youtube-dl ..."whatever".....
4.- i hate proxys.
5.- youtube-dl works fine, forget it about my post, i think the proxy and squid ip configuration was the problem.
