Shrug, I've just been using the youtube-dl (in the repository) in a
couple of terminals as I do other stuff and eventually get around to
using vlc to watch them

I've been doing that for only a short while and find I've had to create
a file structure to store them by subject.

Tip, restarting some stuff where it responds '403 forbidden' is
usually successful.

YMMV, but I find that procedure better than purging cookies to get the
one add free 'preview'.

By the time you posted, the subject video had downloaded.
