Your new test-version doesn't help with the problem I mentioned above.
I don't know if it's the site or the plugin but I have my username and password (twice) in my personal.ini and it still doesn't pick it up.
I've tried removing and replacing it in different places in the personal.ini but it still doesn't work.
I downloaded a story I needed username and password for last wednesday (26. august) without any trouble.
Here's another link:
