KeyError: u'axel'

((stupid linebreaks on screen by default settings on cmd.exe))

I have Axel 2,4 from this site: https://st0rage.org/~n2j3/?page_id=225717166
It's a cygwin build.
Till you 🔨 it: (assuming both axel & youtube-dl exe's in path)

axel $(youtube-dl -g URL)

just works 🆗 in powershell

axel is not supported in latest release. You should wait for next release or use version from repository.
