error with youtube-dl

[Jay-a-elliot]

In the past I've used youtube-dl to download videos from liveleak and it usually went flawlessly, but as of last night I can't download videos from liveleak, when I do I get this error:
ERROR: unable to download video data: urlopen error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:510: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

Which video are you downloading? Please post the full verbose log with -v.
