Same, but interestingly enough today when I click the link my browser Palemoon’s popup dialog (asking whether to open in an extractor app or just download) says the file is from https://gitlab.com https://gitlab.com.

That link redirects to a file on gitlab.com, and that they don't host it was given by uberspace as part of the reason for ignoring the request.

  Huh, so that's basically the excuse TPB uses right? "We don't host content, just links to content."

  Weird. It's hosted by github.com when I run identical commands: (base) /tmp curl -sS -D- -o/dev/null https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl-2020.11.12.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2020 15:52:13 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Location: https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/2020.11.12/youtube-dl-2020.11.12.tar.gz Content-Length: 3 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 (base) /tmp curl -sS -D- -o/dev/null https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/2020.11.12/youtube-dl-2020.11.12.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2020 15:52:27 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Location: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases/download/2020.11.12/youtube-dl-2020.11.12.tar.gz Content-Length: 3 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

    Either they just switched back, or they have it pick from multiple mirrors.
    - JosephRedfern 6y ago
      Yeah, makes sense!
      - jefftk 6y ago
        Either way, though, they are not hosting it on their website contra the GGGGP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25112011 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25112011)

  This is a little meta, but you can use the the -I / --head argument to tell curl to download headers only. This will ignore the rest of the response and means you can eliminate all of those other flags. E.g.: $ curl -I https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl-2020.11.12.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2020 19:10:37 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Location: https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/2020.11.12/youtube-dl-2020.11.12.tar.gz Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
