It sounds to me like the content you are trying to download is protected! If so you will require a user name and password to download it.

To be on the safe side try using a different web browser. Firefox is my choice as i use it with Flashget Download manager, but in this case use Google Chrome as it has a better download system.

are you sure you're pasting a url on you browser? because on your sample the extension is .avi
make sure that its a correct url.

You are copying an address to a specific file...somewhere out there on the web.
If the file has been moved and or the site changed it'll never work.
