    Their server was probably down for a bit. Try again later.

    I updated youtube-dl yesterday afternoon without problem.

    :(

    I may as well just pull the newest version directly, I guess.

    I just did it:
    $ youtube-dl -U
    Updating to version 2020.11.01.1 ...
    Updated youtube-dl. Restart youtube-dl to use the new version.

    I wonder if your ISP is blocking access to it.

    Meanwhile the official website offers a direct download. Problem solved, for now.

    Thank you for the link. The whole thing was triggered because
    of a few seconds of material which would be viewed as fair
    use. Sheesh. Sounds like some rookie at the RIAA wanted some
    attention.
