I just do a git-fetch and a rebase. I get reminded to do this every time 
some download fails with an error: update my download app, and it usually 
succeeds afterwards.

By the way, that “ClipGrab” tool that he seems to like, requires some kind 
of download helper in the background. Looking at the source code, it 
appears to be youtube-dl. I wonder how it keeps that up to date ...
