I just updated to version 2015.05.20 via youtube-dl -U and this video still fails to download:

Can you add the --write-pages option and upload/paste all *.dump files? For example:

youtube-dl --write-pages --verbose "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTidn2dBYbY"

...and now it's working, even when I run the exact same command as before. Must be something transient on YouTube's end. Should I just close this?
