Youtube started returning a 403 on some videos.
Example of video: http://youtu.be/gTAghAJcO1o
Downloading this locally, returns a 403
However downloading from my server works just fine.
Same youtube-dl versions on both servers.
The urls are different though. Servers are in different countries.

Video is visible on both sites but cannot be downloaded
I can access the first URL directly
Let me know if you need any more information to find a workaround.
