Be sure to not have odd characters in the “Server name” field located to the lower right of the program’s main user interface. Try setting this to something simple, such as a single word containing only lowercase, simple letters. Other than this it is possible that the download manager(s) that you have tried do not support HTTP Digest Authentication. This authentication is much more secure than “Basic HTTP Authentication” and this server does not support the later (Basic).
