[hymced]

Hej

That's what I get when trying to download this video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MUyWeTns_o

here is the command I run :

youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MUyWeTns_o --merge-output-format bestaudio+bestvideo

My youtube-dl is up to date.

Cheers

Post the full output of youtube-dl when run with --verbose option.

I must precise that I often use youtube-dl, and I have never seen this error before

Probably a connectivity problem. In issue title you state <urlopen error [Errno 64] Host is down> that is missing from the full log. Clarify on this.
By the way, you are misusing format selection, should be --format bestvideo+bestaudio.

I have just tried again, now it works fine.
