Can you post the contents of ~/.youtube-dl/cache? Also, the failing video is blocked both in Germany and the US. Can you reproduce the problem with a video that's internationally available?

It is now downloading !!! out of the blue, I thought to myself maybe I'll run it again and it works,
but downloading very slow, about 100 Kb/s.
Still I can't complain as long as it runs.
