This is a network error, indicating that your connection went down. We may want to improve retrying for extraction, but simply rerunning the command (after you've verified that you now have an working Internet connection) should work. If you're on a really slow connection, you can also use the --socket-timeout option (like --socket-timeout 600), but that's unlikely to be the problem here.

I'm closing this issue now, since the error should be temporary in nature. If it isn't, and you can reproduce the issue, please comment so.

Hello Philipp,

Actually my Internet connection is very good (~5-10Mbps) even-though I am
getting this. So, I think problem is something else.

With regards,
Ramkrishna Sharma

Unfortunately, even a good Internet connection with high bandwidth can be unavailable from time to time. Can you humor me and retry it once to make sure the error is permanent? Also, can you give me the full output of youtube-dl when called with the -v option? I.e. run

youtube-dl -v "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT4nc92yQRM&list=PLDCA0C59984F46527"

and post the entire output here. That output contains more information about the precise error.

Hello Philipp,

Thank you very much for reply & reopen my problem.

Actually I got what is the problem. Before some time I set some proxy
temporarily. But now the present connection don't need it. And I don't know
why it is taking now that old proxy by default.

When I tried downloading with command:
youtube-dl --proxy "" "
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT4nc92yQRM&list=PLDCA0C59984F46527"

then its working. The output that you ask is below. Now could you please
tell me what should I do so that it will not use the old proxy by default.

Great to hear that. You can simply unset your proxy the way you set it, most likely via a GUI or by editing /etc/environment.
