from the NEW item in the package:
youtube-dl (2010.07.22-1) unstable; urgency=medium
The upstream author has removed support for the -b ("best format") and
the -d ("high def") command line options.
The behavior now is to download the best quality for each video.
If you experience a problem with youtube-dl downloading videos that are
too large, you should consider using the --max-quality option to limit
which format to use.
The list of formats (in decreasing quality) can be found with:
grep "available_formats =" /usr/bin/youtube-dl
-- Rogério Brito <
rbrito@ime.usp.br> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:07:03 -0300
(END)
so the error MAY be from too large a file for the coded transfer
protocol. I tried using that option to download as WebM and got the same
result.
