I know this isn't an issue with youtube-dl but I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced anything like this before. I executed the same command waiting about 1/2 second between each attempt and the error messages appear to be completely random.

Another thing to add is this was done from an ec2 server in the us west-2 region (oregon). I live in california and can view this video on youtube (we're oregon's neighbor) which is why the "not made this video available in your country" error boggles me.

Just wanted to update everyone on this... It seems this occured when youtube began to blacklist my ip for downloading too much. I was unable to reproduce this on a fresh ec2 instance with a new ip address, but I was able to reproduce the randomness on the instance that I had downloaded a lot from in a short period of time.

Consider the issue closed since it's not a youtube-dl issue.

Thanks for the heads up, a strange ban pattern. Good luck!
