I found the files were being downloaded to 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64'. Every other time I've run, files downloaded to the exe directory. Is it pulling a resource from that directory and then not moving on? Any fix?

Destination folder defaults to the current directory you execute youtube-dl from. Don't run it from C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and you won't get files downloaded to this directory.

I've run this from the user desktop in all cases. Just tested on a w7 64 bit and it DL'ed to C:/users/{user}

How is the program determining these output locations?
