Different ways are used to download such a site depending on the authorization type.

If the authorization is performed using a web form (e.g. www.yahoo.com):

  1. To be able to download such a site, you should have the option "Options->Connections->Use Internet Explorer cookies" on.
  2. Open the site in the internal browser and log in.
