youtube-dl: Unable to download webpage
I haven’t encountered this before and I’ve tried restarting my system, but I am unable to get any further past “downloading webpage”

A possible way is to change
/etc/resolv.conf
. Check Linux manuals.I’m closing it first as it’s not a youtube-dl issue. More discussions are welcome.
