Sorry, I know this is a common problem, but I've not been able to resolve it.

I'm trying to copy the courses I've signed up for on the Future Learn website,
to be able to complete them offline.  The website is password protected, so I
have tried using both the Capture URL option (which looks like the correct
one?) and also the user:password@ method.  Neither work - I get the following
log file after capturing the URL:

I'm a bit confused about how this even works.  The hts-post1 file doesn't
contain the username and password that I entered in the form.  

Contents of the file are:
CONNECT / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/33.0
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
Connection: keep-alive
Host: www.futurelearn.com:443


So... 
1) Is Capture URL the correct method to use?2) Is there something else I need
to do?3) When I did the Capture URL, rather than the nice message displayed in
the tutorial, I got an error message saying that the proxy had blocked the
site.  HTTrack did capture a url though, so I didn't worry about it... could
something have gone wrong there?4) There isn't anyone out there who has done
this for future learn, and can share the filters, etc, they needed to get it
all working nice, is there?
I can get a non-password protected site to work, so I don't think it's my
connections.  

(I am so desperate to be able to do my future learn courses on the bus as I
have a 1 year old who doesn't sleep, so zero free time at home... I will be so
grateful if anyone can help me!)
