How to authenticate downloads

The user name and password you have provided at 'jDM > Preferences > Advanced' is used to authenticate the download for the specific host.
Sometimes this may not work because the server may require cookies for authentication, in this case you should use jDM extensions to initiate the download. You can use *.* in 'Host' field to match all websites. |

Example: if you have chosen 'Shut down', your Mac will be shut down after stopping all downloads. |
