videomotion download stopped working today

[mikesmith-zz]

I was wondering if videomotion has rolled out any update that youtube-dl needs to adopt. I cannot download videomotion videos anymore starting today, I tried from different server and also latest version of youtube-dl, but here is the error:

[root@neo ~]# youtube-dl -v http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xx64q8

As you can see from the error message (No route to host), this is a routing error and completely unrelated to youtube-dl. Predictably, the download works fine from my systems, so check your local and internet routing configuration. Most likely, the issue is transient and will shortly solve itself.

Do diagnose, test whether you can access http://www.dailymotion.com/ with your browser, and use tracepath or traceroute to find out where the routing fails.

I'm closing this issue now, but feel free to comment.

As you said it was a transient issue and it is solved now. Thank you again!
