Research direction
Reproduce the report with proxychains-ng 4.17-2 by comparing wget and ffmpeg against the same URL, first without and then with proxychains. Inspect the proxychains-ng socket-hooking and proxy-handling paths for the hang. Done means ffmpeg opens the URL through the proxy without hanging, while wget continues to work.
