Download Wireshark and start sniffing your browser. See if they are using cookies or client-side code to thwart automated downloads. You can watch the browser behavior and reverse engineer it but it can take quite some time.
You could also consider automating mshtml which will is basically a full browser. However this will make your automated downloader a heavier application than straight web-requests.

Yes you can assign a CookieContainer and configure the options you want to allow for the series of webrequests.
Take a look at MSDN:
