Youtube Download failed, could be several different error messages

Once a day, when you open the Youtube module in Download Surgeon it will automatically check and update this module. This is necessary
as YT is constantly making changes which require the YT module to be updated regularly to work correctly.

When you use the YT module and it fails the mostly likely causes is because the YT module hasn't updated correctly. 

To fix this problem go to the Help Button and then >> Manual Update of YT Downloader.

After selecting this you should see the module update and when done you should see a message that says "up to date".
IF you don't see this message then it is likely the update didn't finish and you will still have the problem

Regardless you should return to the YT module and try it again, but if you continue to have a problem, please complete a Incident
Support ticket on the Help Desk.
