Other Software

I'm using winget.

Steps to reproduce

Just type this command "sudo winget install yt-dlp"
Winget starts doing its work and after a while downloading just stops for no reason. My connection is fully stable, and it's been few months with this issue

Expected Behavior

yt-dlp gets installed?

Actual Behavior

Winget starts doing its work and after a while downloading just stops for no reason. My connection is fully stable, and it's been few months with this issue
Tried a million times to download this specific package no luck. it gets stuck somewhere.

Does this repro in the vintage console (conhost.exe)?

Does this repro without using sudo.exe/?

Does it repro with all versions of yt-dlp? Or just the latest?

This sounds like a winget issue to me, but I want to be sure.

Yes.

Yes.

This problem is not yt-dlp specific. it occurs with other packages too.

Maybe it could be I don't know. I'll report this issue there if this doesn't belong here.
