Instead of cancelling the whole downloading process, maybe just skip the failed item and continue with the rest? Example:

[ ❤ :~/apps]$ ./youtube-dl --verbose http://8tracks.com/inchanpratiwi/morning-jog                                                                                                                13:53:53

You can pass in the -i option to do that (pass it in a config file such as /.config/youtube-dl.conf if you want it all the time).

We may default to that behavior, but for now, we're behaving like many other console applications that abort once they encounter an error.
