Slow URL extract on Linode

[jur0]

I'm using youtube-dl on a linode server and having issues only with youtube, the other sites such as vimeo work fine. I used a profiler to check where it takes the most time:

$ python -m cProfile __main__.py -v -j https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLg6qxkQ94A
[debug] System config: []

...

Vimeo, for example, is much faster:

  ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
...
     4    0.005    0.001    0.005    0.001 {method 'connect' of '_socket.socket' objects}
...

This issue is present just on linode. Maybe youtube "blocks" linode IPs? Any ideas?

Try -4 option.

It works now. Thanks!

FYI your ipv6 is broken.

[jur0]

What do you mean exactly? The network interface has both ipv4 and ipv6 assigned.

[dstftw]

Without -4 it most likely uses ipv6 that does not function properly at your side.
