Hi Yan,

Thanks for the response.

it's occurred randomly, like this one, happened after a few videos then succeed after a few time retry.

There are lots of videos on that page. Is the video in problem different each time?

[AlfredMo]

yes, each time it's different.

[yan12125]

I can download all of the videos from here. Maybe it's a network issue. I'm sorry that I can't help more.

[AlfredMo]

No worries. Retry a couple of times will do the work.

I am getting this issue too. Why doesn't the -R (retry) functionality apply here?

It is very unpredictable especially when playlists are involved and you just want to grab everything but it just stops at whatever one it was at. It would be fine to skip files that cannot be downloaded for whatever reason and report the error later but I do not know of such an option.

@Tatsh the --ignore-errors option (or -i) should skip those videos.
