The tool only supports downloads which are hosted by the RIM servers (blackberry.com) as noted above, as they have a common web page format that can be parsed identically. Carriers who do not host their downloads via RIM aren't supported, Verizon is one of them (as is T-Mobile USA) since a) it's a completely different format, and b) they require you to enter your phone number to see the downloads.
Look at this page:
BlackBerry Operating System Downloads - BlackBerryFAQ
All the ones with a yellow lock icon are hosted on RIM, all the ones with a little blue box and up-right arrow are hosted on a unique carrier server, not supported. You could, with some work, take my code and extend it to know the format of Verizon's site and include entry fields for the phone number; I however have no desire to work on this featureset.
