Yeah...my bad. Thought that maybe if the files were mirrored or originally
stored on an FTP server...but then, there are a lot of maybes in this
game...
A site would most likely store the username/pass info in a cookie, or
server-side file, making my suggestion utterly redundant! :)

Glad you found a way through...GetRight (and other download managers) are
definitely worth examining closely; a lot of good features. I've found that
99% of the time I can download wayward, re-directing links using 'copy
shortcut' (in IE) and pasting into GetRight, or failing that, loading the
site's home address in the GetRight browser (Ctrl-B). If that doesn't work,
viewing the web page's source code will usually provide an original download
location.
