Thanks for catching my error! I removed my PR.

No worries!
Let's see if the PR gets accepted. The repository doesn't seem to be very active...

Yeah, it seems to have been left untouched for a few years now... I wonder if it would be allowed to make a copy of this and just continue its support/apply pull requests made here, but I'm not very good with licenses
Actually, it seems to be the "do what you want lol" license so this would actually be possible

Yeah, that would be great. Maybe we could talk to @MrS0m30n3 about it and figure something out

Unfortunately they've only been active once over the past year, so that might prove difficult.

https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/ and https://yt-dl.org/latest/ both redirect to a DMCA notice on GitHub, and https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe and https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl.exe both work. What's the difference between the old and the new URL?

Is there any way I can apply this fix to the version of youtube-DLG I currently have, since this pull request isn't merged yet?

@luxidoptera If you're using Windows, the easiest way would be to download https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe and put it in %AppData%\youtube-dlg. You can probably do something similar if you're using Mac or Linux.
