Make sure you are using the latest version: run `youtube-dl --version` and ensure your version is 2017.02.24.1. If it's not read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.

[ x] I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.02.24.1

Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

[ x] At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections
[ x] Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

What is the purpose of your issue?

[ x] Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)

While I have downloaded other videos fine I have found one particular youtube video that presents a http error and fails to download. I have been able to download this video with other software.

If the purpose of this issue is a bug report, site support request or you are not completely sure provide the full verbose output as follows:
