Error when downloading entire channel

See original GitHub issue

I have used this to download an entire channel before with success youtube-dl -citvw ytuser:USER

I have tried now with a username that contains spaces so I used double quotes but am getting an error. Can someone recommend a workaround or is this is bug?

@emanueLczirai This works fine for me. Are you certain that you are not behind some kind of firewall? The error you’re getting is a network error. Can you post the output you get for

youtube-dl -v --proxy http://l.phihag.de:3120 https://www.youtube.com/user/ManiacSynth/videos

Hi @maggie2013 since that channel’s been taken down, any chance you would have his videos saved somewhere?
