Can't download videos due to too many requests error. #51
Description
CSVs are downloaded from the https://deepmind.com/research/open-source/open-source-datasets/kinetics/
Followed the instructions of ActivityNet/Crawler/Kinetics/README.md to create the environement.
Created video/ in the same directory as the the download script.
Made 1 modification to the script to print whenever an error occurs in downloading a file.
Ran the following command
python download.py data/kinetics_600_test.csv videos/
After downloading about 60 videos in, I get the following error for all videos.
ERROR: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests (caused by HTTPError()); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://yt-dl.org/update on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.
I tried both the download.py used in this repo as well as this one.
Using Aws ec2 instance

@escorciav hello, i filled the form to request the data 3 days ago from here,but have not received the link mail. How long does it spend to check the mails usually?

@Thoudancer Thanks for your feedback. The server was down for some technique issue. It is running now!

Hi there, I'm wondering if you have had chance to check my request to download the dataset. I submitted the form last Friday.

We met some sharing problem because of the google drive settings. I restart the server and your request will be approved soon!

For everyone else, consider installing a newer version of
youtube-dlthrough pip, not with apt.
