Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Explanation of your issue in arbitrary form goes here. Please make sure the description is worded well enough to be understood. Provide as much context and examples as possible.
If work on your issue required an account credentials please provide them or explain how one can obtain them.

Wanted to see what files could be recognized from the provided URL knowing it would use the [generic] extractor, hoped I could pull the mp3s. Did not expect it to error out with a list of local files. After running the command, noted neither C:/User/dst nor C:\Python does not exist. FYI. Have C++ 2010 redistributable installed.

Looks like network problems. Could you try more times?

[ghost]

Tried several more times. Same response. I can point youtube-dl at any youtube URL and it works. I don't have a network problem anywhere else, just this particular site using this command. Could the site block this request if it sees youtube-dl?

[yan12125]

Could the site block this request if it sees youtube-dl?

I don't think so as the same command runs fine here.
