Internet Download Manager help
August 7th, 2016
The browser made the first request, then when idm tried to request same file again the site sent webpage instead of download to idm. ive tryed to use the hot keys maybe im doing it wrong? it wont work for [bu]/[pl]/[180]/[ul]/rg] any site
Help please!
try to disable the idm and just download using your browser.
edit: oh! try to use some leech site/ premium link generator, you can find some in the Services & Giveaways section.
You cannot use idm on sites which doesn’t support resume capability for free users
so that error comes up
cheers
Yeah I’m just used to 900mb downloads taking 5-8min not 20-50 in my browser so downloading current 17gb will take a lifetime
try to see if you get a torrent for the same file
Resume is seen as a separate download session, and free sites only allow one at a time or one every hour or so..
It says hols hot key ins to take over download before browser but I don’t have luck with that
I’m assuming that you are downloading as a free user as you should not have that problem as a premium user..
A couple of things here if you have not tried them already..

Best way I have found to stop IDB downloading a file is to go to Options > File types
And then delete the extension type of the file you wish to download….Easy to type it back in afterwards.
Easier than trying to shut down IDM altogether…It never seems to want to go away!
The speed I get with the browser is usually as good as IDM, in this case, because as a free user ,your speed is throttled and you can’t do multi streams anyhow..
(Except with some of the better sites, which allow IDM anyhow).
Now if it all makes you as frustrated as it did me…You can get yourself a Debrid account which lets you download fast from a lot of different filehost for about $5 a month.
They even have an add on to get your link into IDM real quick

I don’t understand why you can’t download from PL(FireDrive now)
I can’t integrate IDM, so i’m in similar position to you, as it won’t or can’t grab links for me. With hosts that allow you to use IDM what i do is start downloading link in browser, then i copy that download link, stop download and paste it into IDM and that works for me with FireDrive. Also you can download using IDM from hosts that don’t resume, but it just gives you one connection, well it does for me.
FireDrive lets me download directly with IDM ok.
Good speed, multiple streams and resumable, no dramas..
To temporary disable IDM, press Alt-button and click download, simple.
