friendly error messages if update fails #8119

Open canavan opened 8 years ago

canavan commented 8 years ago

If an update via -U fails, a stack trace is printed. A friendlier error message with a clear indication what failed (e.g. a timeout), would be nice.

Without --verbose, the cause of the problem is not printed, even if no proxy is used:

$ http_proxy= youtube-dl -U Updating to version 2016.01.01 ... ERROR: unable to download latest version

with --verbose:
