• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2016.05.01

And I have:

• At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

What is the purpose of the issue?

• Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)

The purpose of this issue is a bug report, output as follows:

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I have used youtube-dl to download from a playlist on soundcloud. The playlist contains 238 items of various sizes. After downloading 38 items, I received an error 403 forbidden.
I then switched to another wifi in a different location altogether and tried to resume the download at item 38, with the same error. At item 39, with the same error.
I am unable to download from that soundcloud playlist, even when I use the personal credentials of the person who made that list.

The command line I have tried using are (one on each line):

youtube-dl https://soundcloud.com/evurutin/likes --playlist-start 38
youtube-dl https://soundcloud.com/evurutin/likes --playlist-start 39
youtube-dl https://soundcloud.com/evurutin/likes --playlist-start 38 --extract-audio
youtube-dl https://soundcloud.com/evurutin/likes --playlist-start 38 -u (that person's username) -p (that person's password)

And in all cases I obtain the same error

Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

Nothing from the database here shows me anything useful about what I can do to solve the issue.
I hope I am writing this correctly. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.
Thank you

Post the full output of youtube-dl when run with -v, i.e. add -v flag to your command line, copy the whole output and post it in the issue body wrapped in ``` for better formatting. It should look similar to this:

$ youtube-dl -v <your command line>

[debug] User config: []
[debug] Command-line args: [u'-v', u'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKcj']

Do not post screenshots of verbose log only plain text is acceptable.

The output (including the first lines) contains important debugging information. Issues without the full output are often not reproducible and therefore do not get solved in short order, if ever.

Looks like you use Anaconda, an alternative distribution of Python.

It should work just as well, theoretically, but maybe try running it with another Python version, just for comparison.
