Hi,

thanks for this great piece of software!

Some users surely could use this tip, and you could 
possibly add it to the FAQ (unter "Using 
user:password@address is not working!" and/or "Can I use 
username/password authentication on a site?"):

If the site uses an e-mail address as username or (less 
common) as a password, you have to exchange the "@" sign 
for "%40". The same goes probably for other characters.

Example:

Instead of 
http:// foo@bar.com : password @ www.mirrorsite.com/

you write:
<http://foo%40bar.com:password@www.mirrorsite.com/>


Regards,

Eckart
