youtube-dl can download from SoundCloud but not from Bandcamp (e.g. http://rqtn.bandcamp.com/track/par-le-hublot):

Why triaged instead of wishlist? youtube-dl has never promised to download
stuff from sites other than the ones that it supports.

This used to work (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/568 ) but does not work right now:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/1270

I suspect they will be able to make it work soon.

works fine for me in trusty.

$ youtube-dl http://rqtn.bandcamp.com/track/par-le-hublot

Nice track, BTW ;-)

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
