Hi
You found the cause: "since the download manager is not in my browser, it does not pickup the existing session. So, it must login again"
But why do you need a separate download manager. All the modern browsers manage their own downloads, you can stop the download, restart, cancel, etc. On Firefox it is the icon of a "down" at the same level with the URL window.
Otherwise, the (nightly) automatic backups James described are a neat way. You can download those backups using FileZilla, provided you have (S)FTP access to the server. The advantage is that the backups are in a separate place. The manual backups land in "filedir" where everything is. If you forgot to delete the backup immediately it gets submerged but still consumes space.
