It seems that youtube-dl uses IPv6 when available. This is good, but I need a way to force IPv4 (for every request, not just the download).

Starting from youtube-dl 2015.01.10.1, you can make use of the --force-ipv4 option. If you want that to be the default, add it in your configuration file. See our FAQ if you need help updating.
