How To Resume Broken Links with IDM (Internet Download Manager) :

We all know Internet Download Manager (IDM) is the most powerful and popular downloader.But how you feel when you have already downloaded a large part of a big file (say 60% to 99%) and IDM says…..ERROR-link broken..can’t resume etc…although it was a resumeable download link? Definitely you feel like throwing your system.Same was the case with me but I’ve discovered a trick to resume broken

IDM downloads.

Though sometime IDM says ‘ERROR-link broken..can’t resume’ etc. for a resumable link you can easily resume

your broken downloads(condition: file should be available in the site form where you started your download/file

hosting server/mirrors) with this simple and effective trick.Just follow the following steps.

Steps:

1.Double click the download name in main IDM window

that shows ERROR to resume.

2.Click the http link of file (highlighted in blue colour)

3.Download link will open in the browser and a window

appears just after that.

4.Click ‘OK’ to resume.Most probably the download will

resume.

If it still doesn’t resume then continue with following

steps-

5.Open the website/mirror site of the same file that you

were downloading.

6.Start a new download of the same file again which was

showing ERROR from website/mirror site).

7.After download starts-pause it.Double click new

download’s name.

8.Copy the address from ‘Address’ box of new download

(shown with blue colour).

9.Paste the copied address to old download’s similar

‘Address’ box and press ‘OK’.

10.Now from main IDM download window select the old

download that was showing ERROR and click on resume.

Now after the 10th step I expect a big smile on your

face.Yes…..thatold file which was not resuming is now

again downloading with full speed.
