The gui does not support entering user/password altough it should be 
possible to use a proxy with username/password with the following receipt.

edit the installer config file with the following command line command

    notepad "%APPDATA%\kde\installer.ini"

then change the url in the line starting with "mirror=" from for example

   mirror=http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows

to

   mirror=http://<username>:<password>@download.cegit.de/kde-windows

Then start the installer (version >= 0.8.0) from the command line with

kdewin-installer-gui-0.8.1 
http://<username>:<password>@download.cegit.de/kde-windows

Then you should be able to use the installer

If you have still problems let me know.

Regards
 Ralf
