RESUMING DOWNLOAD LINK USING INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER PT2:
The part one of this tutorial “HOW TO RESUME DOWNLOAD LINK WITH IDM”was a bit difficult, because you’ll have to do some registry edit and things like that makes some people shake. So with the new internet download manager, you can resume those links that are unresumable without editing codes or messing with your registry.
Reason why you should know how to resume download links that can’t be resumed: imaging you’re downloading a file worth of 900mb and while downloading, your modem got disconnected. Now what will you do since you’ve downloaded 690mb out of the 900mb, are you going to restart the download from scratch? Starting the download from scratch is not the right answer, right? But the best option here is to learn the resumable techniques.
With this tutorial, you will learn this simple trick without a sweat. So if you’re ready, let’s proceed…
SIMPLE STEP OF RESUMING AN UNRESUMABLE LINK WITH IDM
This trick works with the new idm so you can get one @ their official site.
Let’s say you have the latest idm and you want to download from those sites that don’t allow resumable downloads, what will you do?
If your modem gets disconnected or your system accidentally shut down and you try to resume the download that can’t be resumed, you’ll likely get a message like “When trying to resume the download, Internet Download Manager got a response from the server that it doesn’t support resuming the download. It’s possible that it’s a temporary error of the server, and you will be able to resume the file at a later time, but at this time IDM can download this file from the beginning.
Do you want to download this file from the beginning?”
Hey buddy, don’t click the “yes” button because if you do you’re going to restart that download from scratch which is not advisable. What you’ll do is click the “No” button.
Now go to the download link in your are trying to download with your IDM, right click on it and select “Refresh download address” see screen shot below
After clicking “Refresh download address” you will see a message like “IDM will open a web page in your browser where it captured this download. Please start the download of the same file from your browser again and IDM will try to capture a new address or new session data to resume this download” see screen shot below
When you get the message just click the “Ok” button
After clicking the “Ok” button, your browser will pop up loading the download link it wants to download. In the process, you will see the internet download manager grabber like the screen shot below
Now click the download links or wait for the new download to pop up and the download will resume from the exact place it stopped.
The process was simple right? Yeah I know! Do you still have questions or you just want to make a comment, do drop them using the comment box below. Remember that your comments are highly appreciated and welcome.

I have already prepared a post for that. please just just use the search button to find it
Yeah, I’ve tried before and it worked. But the problem with it is that it requires good Internet connection and(I think) it’s only Firefox that can grab such resumption.
As long as you have the latest IDM and your add-on is up to date then it should work with all browsers. Thanks for the comment.
I followed your steps to resume to download a file from YouTube, it’s showing the message as ” requested page has been expired and delete current download and capture updated link “……………what to do?
then maybe the file has been deleted from the data base. but if the video is there it should work perfectly
it not work for me i am downloading from netload please help
I am trying to resume download from this link –
http://www24.zippyshare.com/v/92201329/file.html
but it does not resume. I have done the above procedure correctly, the pop-up shows “New link address for this file was received succesfully”, but after pressing OK button, there is no download window. I have tried this many times but no sucess, and I’m frustated ‘coz only 4Mb of that file was to be downloaded and my modem got disconnected!!!
Please help me!
Same here! I don’t know what to do! Please help us babanature. Thanks
If you can’t read it well, you can always watch the video i provided.
Of course I know how to read. What I meant was we have the same problem: “New link address for this file was received successfully” but after that, the resume does not start, hence, I’ll have to click resume and the pop up somewhat says “…Restart download from the beginning” and so the process repeats with no luck. Thank you for the video, I’ll just check it ASAP and try again.
I had the same problem you guys did, but this method does work. Just make sure IDM is updated. I was one update behind, but after I updated and followed the procedure and clicked on resume download, it worked.
Thanks! I didn’t know this is possible!
Hello Raph,
Really? well now you no, start putting it to practice and have fun.

WHEN I AM RESUME THE DOWNLOAD IDM WILL OPEN WORDPAD INSTEAD OF BROWSER WHAT CAN I DO???
Hello Rohit,
I believe i have addressed this same issue in the earlier comments. But i’ll still tell you again;
the reason your wordpad is opening instead of your browser, is because your notepad is set as the default browser. Now the simple trick is to turn your Firefox or Chrome to the default browser and all problems will be solved. Hope you understand?
hi,
when i click on refresh download address it open up a pop up windows but not opening browser.
please help me.
That is not the problem of the idm, you should check your default browser to see if it pops up and if it doesn’t, then open it manually. i’m doing a video on it today so you should subscribe to my channel to be updated as soon as its out.
Hi,
Thanks for reply. what video about you are talking…
Plz help me out..
check the comment thread and you’ll see the youtube link
Hi,
I am saying that after clicking on refresh download address a dialog box pops up but not opened browser automatically. My default browser is firefox.
then when the dialog box opens, manually open your browser and go to the download page and click the download link. that should do it
Sorry but not working..
if it still doesn’t work, you will have to uninstall the idm permanently and re-install it back. make sure you also delete its file from the registry when you uninstall it. this must work for you
Hi dear
Please Help me with that if you don’t mind
Recently when i open the IDM and i want to refresh my download link , automatically it opens a windows media player instead of opening the webpage.
I don’t know what the reason is.
Please help me
IDM version
watch this video i just made when i was downloading a movie, so you’ll know how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPMIG0Toy-k
Recently when i open the IDM and i want to refresha download in the list , automatically it opened a windows media player instead of opening the webpage.
I know how to resume a link but i didnt work in IDM.
every time it opend a windows media player page instead of mozilla browser.
My idm version; 6.14 build 5
Ok! then this is what you’ll do make your Mozilla Firefox your default browser, then go to your idm settings. now uncheck the Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox and click save now repeat the process but this time check the box. hope that’s help!!! but if tried the above and still didn’t work, just uninstall your idm using revo or ccleaner.
Hi again
I did what you said and I downloaded ccleaner but I still have same problem
You know what when I remove WMP from windows it will fixed and open a browser correctly but when I have windows media player it refer to WMP instead of browser.
I don’t why it happend to me !!!!! So odd !
I cleaned my registry but the problem is exist still
Hello Arash,
Is your WMP the latest version? if not try upgrading it and if it persist go to option in your cclean and search for your IDM and from there, uninstall it then reinstall it. but before you go on with the uninstall things first upgrade your WMP to the latest version. i am sure that we are going to solve it together.
thanx sir for your helping just keep it up

Please find me a resolution.

i unable to resume the download,when i click on resume, idm says that “can not resume downloading the file ,it’s possible that the addressof the file is not valid anymore or your session has expired ,please restart the download of the same file from your browser manually, and IDM will try to capture new address or new session data to resume this download.”
i press ok ,a windows open, says IDM is waiting for the new address to resume the file, but it is taking more time to open and resume the file and unable to resume after taking long time.please help me
Hello Manish,
If the site is taking longer to load, there is nothing anybody can do. Your network is simply slow, try to change your network to a better one.
I did it exactly the way you discribed it and I also watched the video. Nonetheless it doesn´t work. After getting a new link it asks my again to start from the beginning.
If you’ve watched the video and it still doesn’t help, then i am short of words because since all my years of using IDM, it has been working wonders for me…
brilliant working perfectly thanks mate…nice tip….
I’m currently using Internet download manager version 6.17 to download files in a scheduler, but when it is time to start the download ALL DOWNLOADS give me the following error:
“Cannot resume downloading the file, It’s possible that the address of the file is not valid anymore or your session has expired, IDM will open a web page in your browser where it captured this download. Please start the download of the same file from your browser again, and IDM will try to capture a new address or new session data to resume this download.”
It then takes me back to the original uploaded.net page where I then click on the blue premium download button, and the download then starts from 0%.
I,ve tried it on the following browsers: google chrome, Internet explorer and Firefox, and its the same error each time.
How can I download files by scheduling it for a later time and then resume the download without error messages? The files do have resume capability, but they don’t want to resume???
Please Help!!!
Hello Johan,
You’re getting that error message because the site you’re downloading from changes their download address constantly. But you can always resume your download links exactly where you stopped by following the method i have laid down. and if you still find the post confusing, you can still watch the video i created for it.
hi i cannot resume download.when trying to resume by refreshing the link notepad opens instead of google chrome. i know you would tell me make google chrome your default browser and it is my default browser but still it opens notepad please help me

My IDM show me “resume capacity is unknown” , How to correct this, ??

This would be much more better if this thing would work at the background; meaning after clicking on Refresh Download Link, this will not go to the page rather this will refresh the link and start download immediately.

It contained an unresumable downoad.I tried many different methods(including yours, proxy sites,file mirrors, etc.) but still I couldn\\\’t get a resumable link for it.Need help.
Wow, I was afraid this wasn’t gonna work anymore but tried it anyways because it was the only thing I found…

Thank You!
