Can anyone teach me how to use Internet Download Manager to download files from file sharing sites like Mediafire, FileServe, or other sites? Normally a direct download would work, but when download from file sharing site, the browser will download it,, not IDM, anyone can help me?

copy link ->> add url

go some website and convert teh link to direct download link then paste it into IDM?

not working, it will download the web.html

huh? is that possible? how?

Options > General > Capture downloads from the following browsers > Tick <whatever-browser-you-use>

right click -> dl using IDM?

this only work on direct download, not from file sharing site

tell u in PM but long time i no use already

what is the file extension that u r trying to download....?

doesnt have that option

alrite

ipa files, means installer for ipad, i am downloading free apps, why dont i download from itune its becoz my uni here block itune appstore and android market as well, so have to manually download lo.... want download few mb de apps also hard, haiz

download using browser first ->>see download item --> copy download link

Then what exactly do you mean by file sharing site?

Pretty much all file-sharing site works on the basis of direct download. Mediafire is direct download.

Do you mean placing the download links on queue and let IDM auto download for you (after waiting period)?

omg!! you are brilliant! it works!!!!

thanks alot!

what i mean is that when i want to download from direct link, like download attachment from gmail, then it works in IDM, but then some sites doesnt store the files them selve, they use 3rd part file sharing sites like mediafire or fileserve to store their files, then just paste that link in their website, so when i try to download from there, its not working lo

hold the insert key button on your keyboard while clicking on the download link. worked for me

tried that too, not working

1 word, you cant. some file server like mediafire can accept download manager, some cant.
if you still download from non download manager supported site, you will only get its index file. something like <insert ant name here>.html


best way is to use something like rapidleech any any similar service

Then do this,
and click the link.

IDM should auto detect the download and takeover the download process from your browser.

Buy original IDM lah!

Got few option for you.

1. use Mipony. google it urself.

2. IDM only support certain filesharing site if u are free user (not premium/paid). site that allow IDM is like Mediafire, Hotfile, and few other (really few). If u paid the site, then it wont be a problem to use IDM on it.

3. Try this for certain filetype to be automatically downloaded using IDM. go to Option > File Types. Then add IPA there.
