Yes, you are indeed access-crippled. Why? V90 session limits here
have moved up to 5 hours or so, but that is often not enforced
overnight, if you are lucky.
Can you not set up a cron job to log on again and resume partial
downloads every 91 minutes and get yourself s good night's sleep?
What self-respecting ISP would shoot themselves in the foot with 90
minute sessions?
BTW, I don't use supermount - my /etc/fstab is full of the standard
mount syntax. That's the best fix for supermount, and does not call
for any downloading.
