Authentication

You can use either a Netscape cookie file (with --cookies) or a set of credentials (with --username and --password) to authenticate with openrec-dl. If have a free account, the downloader will attempt to use the ability to view two videos free per day, but only if it cannot get around this restriction already. If you have a premium account you should encounter no limits to what videos the downloader can access.
