File is uploaded, but after some time i get error:

I don't have limit on my YT account, file is about 600MB, my internet upload 
speed 256Kb/s

I had never seen that error (same packages here, ArchLinux), cannot reproduce. 
Clearly the server and curl are having trouble understanding each other. 

Google shows the error but I've not able to see a common pattern of the problem.

Is the error systematic? always at the same point? what happens with smaller 
videos? what if you try from a faster network?

During the two trials once it happened at 45%, and once at 3%

Now I'm trying with the option --api-upload

Later I will try with smaller files.

--api-upload does not use curl, so it almost certainly it will work (but it's 
not a nice upload, no feedback).

ok, let me posted.

Hello,

I have almost the same problem but my file is 4,32 GB big and it is not 
uploaded because the error interrupts the upload.

@apexgaming42. Unfortunately OP didn't give more feedback and I don't have more 
information on the issue. Try to google a bit to see if you find something. 
Also, you can try to upload with the other method, though 4Gb without feedback 
is certainly painful
