Youtube didn’t like my IP; so after a lot of fighting; I just torified that shit and it worked
If you get a 429: Too many requests. Youtube-dl won’t be able to get a video stream.

They forked youtube-dl a while back, and managed to make it to actually download fast. Uses the same command line arguments, so it's a seamless switch.

@alyx hopefully they found a way to get around YT dumping connections :/

Only place I've found it failing is if a video was marked 18+.
