How to Use IDM – Actually, there are not many software or applications that can be relied on when downloading.
However, by using Internet Download Manager (IDM) we can get a faster, more stable, and more customizable download speed if there is a problem when the download fails.
Lots of computer and laptop users who have used this software/application. For me, this IDM software must be installed on your PC or laptop.
IDM software is very easy to install. You only need to buy the original IDM license at a fairly affordable price.
In terms of appearance, IDM is designed to be very easy for everyone to understand and its use is also very easy to use.
Although IDM is very easy to use, some people are still confused about how to use IDM to download a file from a browser. Here I will share how to use IDM on a PC or Laptop.

How to Initial IDM Settings
For those of you who are just setting up at IDM, actually, there are no specific steps. Even if there is, I suggest that you first study the appearance and menu of IDM.
I include checking steps regarding the initial IDM settings:
1. Open IDM
2. Click Options
3. On the General tab, make sure the browser you are using is properly checked/ticked as shown below
The check function here is to integrate IDM software with the browser you are using. If the browser used is not checked, then the automatic download feature from IDM will be disabled. So that automatic IDM is also not active in the browser.
4. Then check the options> file types
Try to file extensions that contain fairly complete extensions, such as MP4, ISO, RAR, ZIP, MKV, FLY, MP3, WAV, etc. as shown below
