I can provide an account if necessary, just point me towards a way of doing so privately.

[remitamine]

i already added support for auth in 98b7506.
you can contact me using the email in my GitHub profile to check what has been changed and if it can be fixed.

I think the authentication system changed, because when I try to initiate a download with authentication, it output this
