This is more or less I thought at the first post: "not
work" doesn't work here.

For me, youtube-dl works most of the time. But this will
almost certainly be a complex function of the downloader's
location and the video in question, so...

One thing I found out is that youtube-dl's cache seems to
suffer poisoning from time to time (no wonder, with all that
toxic javascript out there). A timely

  youtube-dl --rm-cache-dir

got it unstuck for me once (meaning that a video which threw
a 403 before downloaded nicely after).

YMMV and things.

Cheers
