Nowadays IDM is the most widely used down-load manager because of its capability to down-load files at a faster rate than compared to that of any browser or any other down-load manager. Not only down-load at a faster rate IDM can also resume links at a later time which is the most important feature of the IDM. But sometimes an error occurs when we try to resume the down-load. We get frustrated when the file has already been down-loaded more than 50% and the message appears “Do you want to down-load the file from the beginning”.

Dagdag ko lang dito, base to sa experience ko
May nakaka experience na ba na pag umabot na sa 99.99% yung d0wnl0ad mo eh nag CONNECTION TIMEOUT?
Kung meron na, eto yung trick ko...
This will work only for CAN BE RESUMED downloads (ex. anime streaming sites, etc)
1st - Sa d0wnl0ad mo (kahit anong size), dapat ma estimate mo kung kelan ito matatapos
2nd - Kung di mo ma estimate, dapat updated ka kung ilang percent (%) na yung d0wnl0ad mo
3rd - Kapag nasa 90% - 99% na (mas maganda kung malapit nang mag 100%) , STOP mo na yung d0wnl0ad mo
4th - Click RESUME d0wnl0ad at madadownload mo na yung file
Information about this:
- Nag ooccure ang ganitong error kapag MAHINA yung d0wnl0ad speed mo
- Minsan, nag ooccure din to kapag MULTIPLE files yung dinadownload mo at nahahati yung d0wnl0ad speed. Kapag nahati yung d0wnl0ad speed, babagal na ang speed ng bawat isa. Kapag bumagal yung speed, matagal madownload. Kapag matagal ma d0wnl0ad, magkaka CONNECTION TIMEOUT yung dinadownload mo
Conclusion:
Pag na stop mo yung d0wnl0ad mo, at i-reresume, mag rerefresh yung d0wnl0ad mo at hindi ka na mag coconnection timeout
File downloaded (ex. 98%) > Stop > Stored the 98% of the file > Resume > Rebuilding the old files > Refreshing d0wnl0ad link > Connecting > Receiving Data > d0wnl0ad Complete
Just a simple trick but effective
