[ydl-gen] leasefail error YDL on PS3 : Nasty bug with YDL 5.0.2 and some PS3s

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Labradal!

In my view, the most accurate and advanced services (latest downloads,
updates/corrections) available as a user is by maintaining membership via
ydl.net.  It may be useful if you reviewed the official TSS website
regarding ydl.net.  YDL.net membership could save you time regarding
hunting the same files on the various public mirrors locating what the
latest files or anything else regarding YDL may be.

As I said, it was just a thought.
Best wishes...

The scientist's religious feeling takes the form of a
rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which
reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, in
comparison with it, the highest intelligence of human beings
is an utterly insignificant reflection.  This feeling is the
guiding principle of his life and work.
