Speed up, resume downloads from broken links

How to resume download broken or bad links and slow internet connections

Feeling frustrated downloading big files, some good videos, games or any large applications with slower connections and download link getting broken?

Here’s a great help for downloading resumable / unresumable single link files


As we already know that there are a variety of download accelerators available on the web but the accelerator which I trust and found too useful is the Internet Download Manager(IDM). It is really an awesome application. It can speed downloads by 5 times, and can resume, schedule and organize downloads. The program features a full-fledged site grabber that downloads files that are specified with filters, for example, all pictures from a Web site, different parts of Web sites, or complete Web sites for offline browsing. The program supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and MMS protocols, and has an adaptive download accelerator for MP3 audio, FLV and MPEG video files. It can also be used to download flash videos from sites like YouTube, MySpaceTV, Google Videos, and others.

After installing restart your system so that IDM gets integrated to your explorer. Now you are ready to download anything.Just download file as usual, the only difference is that instead of explorer download IDM will grab the link, you can choose to download now or schedule for later download.






Now the crucial thing what would happen if your connection resets or power goes off or the server sends an error message after you have downloaded 255 or 300 mbs of the 600 or 700 mb file?






The first very obvious thing you or anybody would do is to resume the download, But it may not be successful many times, instead it could give an error message as above.




That’s Ok , no problems as till now continue to see the solution







Open the IDM right click on the file that has failed downloading select “refresh download address”.



A dialogue box would appear as given select ok




The download link page would pop up from where you initiated the download.



So far good may be you be able to resume the download from here !




Oops, what happened you will have to wait 22 minutes, isn’t it annoying?





Don’t worry we have the trick. Just google the name of the file you were downloading and you could find different links to it . Search for the same name with the same size no matter the file is on which server.





Here in the example I found the same file on megaupload




When the same file is found IDM automatically

pops out a message saying “New link address for the file was received successfully.

Click on "OK"

"Resume download” from the IDM list of files.





Voila ! Your file is continues to download from the place where connection broke down.

Nb: IDM will sometimes give a dialogue box saying that the modified time has changed on the server, do you wish to download from the beginning? Select no and the file would continue to download from the same place where it failed.
