Download error with youtube-dl and axel
I am trying to download following video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQWj2Fgxdrc
by combining 'youtube-dl' and 'axel'. I am trying to download this video in such a way that I want these two softwares (youtube-dl and axel) to not only save this video as "interview.mp4" but also limit download speed to 200KB. For this purpose, I used following command:
youtube-dl -f 22 -c -i --external-downloader /usr/bin/axel -o 'interview.mp4' -s 200000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQWj2Fgxdrc
Here I am using following options:
-f 22 for video format
-c for resume download
-i for ignore errors
-o for output file name
-s 200000 for limit download speed to 200KB
However, instead of downloading the video at 200KB and saving it as "interview.mp4", it is giving following error:
ERROR: fixed output name but more than one file to download
I have also tried following variation of command:
youtube-dl -f 22 -c -i --external-downloader /usr/bin/axel -s 200000 -o 'interview.mp4' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQWj2Fgxdrc
and
youtube-dl -f 22 -c -i --external-downloader /usr/bin/axel -o 'interview.mp4' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQWj2Fgxdrc -s 200000
and
youtube-dl -f 22 -c -i -o 'interview.mp4' --external-downloader /usr/bin/axel -s 200000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQWj2Fgxdrc
But still same error is appearing. However, if I remove the option (-s 200000), the error disappear and the video starts to download. But I want to use (-s 200000) option so that it should not eat all the bandwidth.
What mistake I am doing here?
video download limit youtube-dl axel

Instead of-o 'interview.mp4' -s 200000, can you try--external-downloader-args '-o interview.mp4 -s 200000'? If it works, I'll add it as a proper answer with some references.
