[ydl-gen] SSH and hung with YDL 4.0 and G4

Our office just switched its network to gigabit so I don't have much choice
here.

No reasons, it is just that I could not find a compelling reason nor an easy way
to upgrade to 4.1. So if I upgrade I would prefer to wait 5.0.

The issue is that I get something like after a few seconds of download:

file.iso.gz                                 35%   66MB 100.7KB/s  -- stalled --

I've read that it could have to do with the small amount of memory that I have
and the file I'm transferring is quite large. I've played with the MTU setting
and it did behave better but still it did not complete the download.

Thanks,
Manu
