There's a session token in your browser cookie for the site, you have to pass that to the server. Honestly, though, I'm not going to be in the top 100 so I don't bother anymore. I open the input and hit Cmd-s and save it to my inputs directory. I've made it into the top 100 precisely one time in the 4 years (this is my 5th) I've participated, and I honestly don't know why I was in the top that time. It wasn't a terribly hard problem (for the folks that were reliably making it in the top 100) if you'd done the earlier parts since it was a simple search (increment register 0 value, check that it's not in a cycle, and count the number of executed instruction if it halts). You did need to complete day 16 first though, and it was closer to Christmas itself so maybe that was why.
If you do use a download script make sure you check whether or not you've downloaded it before.
