Bear in mind that the download manager itself isn't logged in, only the browser. Try 
setting the referrer URL in the download manager to the real page you would have been 
on in your browser before you clicked on the link to see if that works. Also try 
setting the download manager ID string to that of the browser you're using. I find 
NetVampire and FlashGet tend to do a better job of 'fooling' the servers than Getright 
(plus they seem a lot more stable). Sometimes you just can't trick the server 
(especially if it uses a CGI, java or a cookie).

I'm using IE5.5 on all my computers including my Libby running win95 and I've not had 
any problems ...
