Livestream download URL possibly broken

[Ranutso]

Description:

I've noticed that since the last upgrade, Python will return a traceback error when downloading from Livestream (please see the debug messages below). I've noticed that this could be due a missing forward slash in the download URL.

Notice that there is a forward slash missing after akamaihd.net on the "[debug] Invoking downloader on" URL.

Thank you!
