yt-dlp error/fail 'too many requests'

[abrogard]

trying to download a playlist here I think.

and yt-dlp gets busy and does well for a while and then I started getting messages that it failed because 'too many requests'.

I'd cut and paste here but it's carrying on and downloading further vids quite happily right now.

So just wondering - is there perhaps some switch I could/should employ when such messages come up or are expected to come up perhaps?

ah.. it's finished and it finished upon one of those errors so I can paste it in here:

try adding either --force-ipv4 or --force-ipv6 to your command and see if that helps.

Okay. Thanks for that. I'll try it next time.
