What version are you using? I just installed via pip and was able to pull the same video that failed for you without a problem:

Which shell do you use? Maybe it is an issue with zsh. I'm using 2015.08.28 👴

I'm using bash. I saw your error string and also thought it might be a shell issue.

Looks like it is probably just a shell/globbing thing actually:

As @csuttles said, you need to enclose the URL in single or double quotes in some shells.
