Increase IDM Speed

Manager by double-clicking
the
desktop shortcut or by
selecting the icon within the
Windows Start menu. After a few seconds, the main
application window is
displayed. Click Option in the Download
menu and choose the
Connection tab. Select the Connection Type/
Speed dropdown and choose
LAN 10Mbs. This option sets Internet
Download Manager to the
fastest possible mode, but it
requires a lot of bandwidth for
it to be effective. If you are
running a DSL connection of less than 10mbs, then this
setting is not recommended. Locate the Default Max
Connection Number setting.
IDM uses multiple sources
when downloading large files,
and each source needs a
separate connection. If the default max is set too low,
then this will throttle IDMs
ability to download files
extra-quickly. Set the Default Max Connection
Number as 16, which is the
highest possible number of
connections supported by IDM.
Click OK to apply the settings
specified in this guide. Test the new settings by
downloading a file from the
internet using IDM. Click Add
URL to add the location of a
new download and in the
window that opens, enter the URL of a file on the internet. Select the file in the queue and
click Start/Resume Download
to begin downloading the file
from the internet to your
computer. You should notice a
speed increase in the time it takes to download large files,
now that you have set up IDM
correctly.
