Research direction
First, identify where proxy and login settings are currently handled in the codebase, likely in a settings dialog (e.g., `persepolis/gui/settings dialog.py` or similar). Then explore how other settings are persisted (e.g., via `QSettings` or a config file). Implement a save/load mechanism that stores the default proxy and login credentials, and loads them when the download dialog is opened. Ensure backward compatibility and check if any existing tests cover settings persistence.
