Unable to download videos over a certain size. Can I extend the download time, or continue the download without starting again?

[DannyMaliana]

Any youtube video over a certain size fails after downloading about the same amount of data. It seems like it is stopping if it hasn't completed the download by a certain amount of time. When I watch the download it is constantly downing and then suddenly just stops. Any video that is smaller completes downloading, but if it is over a certain size, it fails.

Is there a way I can tweak the code to either allow a longer time for downloading before it stops (I am on a slow internet connection), or a way that I can get it to retry downloading the video keeping its current progress rather than starting the download from the beginning again?

Using youtube-dl -f 22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videoId directly takes a good while to download a video, but it does complete without any issues.
