This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to resolve issues with the IDM (Internet Download Manager) integration module not working in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge web browsers. For more details on enabling or disabling the IDM CC module, check out our article on Enabling/Disabling IDM CC on Firefox, Google Chrome, and Edge Chromium.
Internet Download Manager (IDM) is one of the most popular download managers available, known for its ability to increase download speeds, resume interrupted downloads, and schedule downloads. It is capable of resuming downloads that have been disrupted due to lost connections.
| Supported Web Browsers | File Types Supported |
|---|---|
| Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Other Chromium-based browsers, Other Firefox-based browsers | 3GP, 7Z, AAC, ACE, AIF, ARJ, ASF, AVI, BIN, BZ2, EXE, GZ, GZIP, IMG, ISO, LZH, M4A, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP3, MP4, MPA, MPE, MPEG, MPG, MSI, MSU, OGG, OGV, PDF, PLJ, PPS, PPT, QT, RAR, RM, RMVB, SEA, SIT, SITX, TAR, TIF, TIFF, WAV, WMA, WMV, ZIP |
The IDM download panel appears when a user selects a web link for a file or text containing download links in the browser. However, sometimes the panel may not show up during media streaming. This could happen due to issues with the advanced browser integration settings.
To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
After disabling, you will need to re-enable it:
If the IDM integration module isn't installed in your web browser after installing IDM, you must add the extension manually:
Ensure that the IDM integration module is enabled in your web browser's extension settings. If it's not enabled, please follow the steps below for each browser:
If your web browser isn’t listed, add it using the following steps:
This feature helps download files from servers that permit only one download request. Hold the Shift key when initiating downloads to capture links effectively.
If you wish to prevent IDM from capturing specific file downloads, hold the Alt key during the download initiation. This allows the browser's default downloader to take over.
