Internet Download manager-The ultimate tool for making your downloads on the web quicker and resumable. But a reported and self experienced issue exist with this extravagent software.
Probably one of the most common uses of IDM is to use it for downloading YOUTUBE VIDEOS. The fantastic integration of IDM with a video caption pages is really admirable. But recently I noticed a flaw( Not basically in IDM but due to server issues) that resuming a video (or may be other downloads too from dynamic servers) sometimes displays an error as such:
The phenomena is quite frustrating when we want to resume quite large downloads and its really impossible to start over the download again. So DON'T WORRY.. TECH GETS EASY is up here with an innovative trick to recapture these lost downloads. The trick we are revealing here capsulates by recapturing the lost URL of the download and changing the url manually for the existing download. Now we proceed with these steps. (Please note that we are taking the unresumable download as a youtube video. The trick will work the same for other types of unresumable downloads also)
The unresumable video in my IDM download list is :
1. First of all as soon as you see the above box click CANCEL button.
2. Next open youtube.com and search for the same unresumable video.
3. Then click open the search result and after the page loads click on the DOWNLOAD THIS VIDEO button of IDM at the bottom of the page.
4. Then the IDM's download box opens up. Click on Start Download button.
5. The file gets added to the download list of IDM
6. Right Click on the file name and open its PROPERTIES. Then Copy the entire ADDRESS of this download.
7. Then in the IDM main window right click on the original unresumable download and open its properties and paste the copied address in the address field and CLICK OK.
8. Finally click on resume download option of the original download
Your download will be resumed.
Enjoy this useful trick... Any queries through comments are always appretiated. Also please note that this trick does not work on non resumable servers. It applies to only dynamic servers on which the address of a download changes after a specific time.
