Note: seems to be a Python-2.6 thing, same URL works fine with the same youtube-dl version on a Python-2.7 system.

Thanks for the report, it will work in the next version.

I would recommend you to use the last python 2.7 or 3.x version (or in the worst case the last 2.6 version). The 2.6 is unmaintained and doesn't receive any security update.
