[Solved] uGet not downloading YouTube videos

Hey there.

Problem is as straightforward as the title. When trying to download from YouTube, the download fails with this error message

Message: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

Anyone else getting this?

Re: [Solved] uGet not downloading YouTube videos

Are you talking about http://ugetdm.com/ ('the Linux uGet', it's in the repos) or http://www.uget.in/ ?
I'm not sure if the former can download videos from YT, for me it downloaded just the html page instead of the video content.

Talking about the Linux uGet, fromt the repos. I've always been able to download YouTube videos with it.

I found

Improved support for the FlashGot Firefox Addon, including a fix for a Youtube filename bug.

in http://ugetdm.com/changelog but I'm not sure if the YT part is handled by uGet or FlashGot.

I use FlashGot add-on so I can use uGet as the download manager for YouTube videos. DownloadHelper is able to download a YouTube video using the Firefox download manager, but only up until 720p, uGet fails for all of versions, with the error message above. Get the same error message when I downgrade.

Downloading from YT violates their ToS, but I don't have a problem with downloading 1080p with FlashGot for videos that provide this resolution.

I know that it violates their ToS, although only for videos whose authors have posted their videos under the Standard YouTube License. And yes, FlashGot gives me the option to download 1080p, but the resolution doesn't matter with uGet, they all fail.

What does uGet give you that's missing from FlashGot + the Firefox download manager combo?

Re: [Solved] uGet not downloading YouTube videos

uGet is the download manager. FlashGot is just the Firefox add-on I use to capture the stream. Flashplayer tends to freeze when playing video or just flatout crashes (often within seconds of reloading the page after it does this once), I usually download the videos so I can watch them without the hassle.  I had to use uGet as my download manager because the Firefox default would fail and I would be unable to resume the download, and then I'd have to restart it. My internet connection is far from good, so the options were to risk waiting double the hours it takes to get big downloads or get a better download manager. Also, for some reason, the Firefox default will take ages to get a torrent file.

Fixed it. It seemed to be an issue with curl for some reason; installing aria2 and enabling it solved the issue.

Well, that fix didn't last long, for some reason. Anyways, still managed to fix it by downgrading curl to version 7.34.0-1, so still solved.
