Everybody like IDM and there are more than enough reasons for it. But the thing that always bother us is a broken download that can't be resumed. You are downloading a file, reached 80% point, something happens and downloading stops. When you try to resume it to receive this message.
So will you start the downloading from the
beginning or just quit it and face the reality? I know both the options are
heartbreaking. So today I am going to show you how you can resume the broken
download in IDM.
Alright! Lets Begin.
Scene 1: Video File
Whenever a video is detected on a page, IDM will
give you an option to download this video. When you click on the IDM button, the
video will start downloading, simple enough. But sometimes you will notice that
the video doesn't have the "resume capability"

and once the downloading stops and you try to resume the video, it will ask you to
download the file from beginning. So in this case,
>> Stop (cancel) the downloading and goto main IDM
window.
>> Right click on the video and select
properties.
>> Notice the address part. Most of the videos
will have a similar link.
>> Simply remove the
"?start=0" from the end and press OK.
>> Now click on resume
button. Your file will start to download again and you will see that it have the
resume capability now.
Scene 2: Other Files
This method
is a bit different from the video method however you can use it to resume the
videos as well. All you need is to keep the link (web address) from where you
are downloading.
>>
Download the file until it stops. Don't remove it.
>> Goto
browser and open the web page again from where you were downloading the
file.
>>
Click on the download button on the page, but this time when IDM appears, click
on download later.

>> Goto
the main IDM window and open the properties of the file you have added to
download later. Copy its download location.
>> Now
open the properties of the file that just stopped downloading. Paste the address
here.
>> Now
try to resume the file. In most cases it will work.
And that is how you avoid downloading the file from the beginning.
