Resume download is the best feature IDm has, and it can also resume download even when the link is corrupted. So follow the step-by-step instructions to save your data and resume the download where it stopped.

Step 01

Open the web browser. Go to the web page that you are trying to download.

Step 02

Try to get the download link, but do not download from IDM. (Your current download will resume from the beginning.)

Step 03

On some websites, you just can’t copy the download link, so follow the steps to get the download link.

1.      Disable the IDM Extension on the browser and restart.

2.      After restarting, go to the web page and try to download the file.

3.   When the download starts in the download manager on the browser, pause the download, then right-click the file and click “Copy download link.”  

Step 04

Open the Internet Download Manager (IDM).

Step 05

Select the corrupted file name that you want to resume. Then click “Right Click” and click "Properties.”

Step 06

In “File Properties,” you can see the file details, like name, size, save location, address, and more. In the "address," delete the previous download link and paste the new link you copied (Step 3). Then click "OK.”

Step 07

Again, select the file name and right-click “Resume Download.”

Step 08

The download will start from where it stopped. (The resume point will be various.)

This method will save you data and time. This method allows you to use free downloads from premium sites, slow download speed servers, limited speed servers, and all kinds of downloads.
