When I try downloading videos, I'm quite consistently getting errors such as:

[download] Got error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found. Retrying fragment 18 (10/10)...
[download] fragment not found; Skipping fragment 18 ...

Which then lead to the downloaded video being incomplete/corrupted. Sometimes only a few fragments are skipped, sometimes none, and sometimes every single one doesn't work! I can't find any clear explanation as to why this is happening in the first place, and the only solution I can find is "wait an arbitrary amount of time and try again"

Does anyone know what actually causes these errors? How can I prevent them? Really slowing down my archiving of my old YT videos right now :/
