Free Download Manager Not Working With Firefox

My internet download manager stopped working recently. I tried installing it again (newer version), but that also didn’t work. I also tried to use DAP, but it wasn’t accelerating the downloads.

I could download faster in Chrome than it. In IDM, when I start downloading, it writes Connecting, but after that nothing. The request times out after some time.

Ant Download Manager is a fast downloader of any Internet files with the advanced function of downloading audio and video content. The rapid release cycle not helping FDM plugin to compatible with the newly released Firefox versions, till now, but, whenever new versions of Firefox are released, geek users able to edit install.rdf file to make Free Download Manager plugin work in Firefox again.

My friend is also having the same problem. I live in a university hostel where the internet is provided by the university via WLAN. My other friends are using IDM and it’s working fine.

  2. why internet download manager not w0rking.it give password but i dont have password.

  3. IDM doesen't works in my computer or idm has blocked,how to reset again ?

  4. WHEN IT WORKS IT COOL ONCE IT STOPS JUST REMOVE IT ''

  5. ive seen the same thing internet downloader works better with wilaN CABLE NOT WIFI

  6. internet down load manager has been registered weith a fake serial numbar or the serial number has been blocked,IDM is existing.......... what can i do????

  7. how m register IDM????

  8. did you find the solution of the problem you faced???

  9. Some registration was asked from IDM.Than stopped working.New installation even coldn't fix the problem.If it doesn't come FREE than why it has been provided earlier as FREE..!

  10. Hello, Akshay. I got u a link contain the lates IDM

    how to use the software:

    1) Set up the Software fully
    2)run 'Unregister.IDM.reg', [remove all the registry file for old serial.]
    3)save the crack files in directory C:Program FilesInternet Download Manager or any directory that u saved ur IDM software
    4) run the registry file of the crack

    Ensure about the proxy setting, university usually renews their proxy to reduce the net usage in side campus.

  11. You can use this extension(FlashGot as core) to make direct calls to an external downloader
    https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/lfjamigppmepikjlacjdpgjaiojdjhoj?hl=en

    1: Go to Customize and control google chrome
    2: Tools
    3: Extensions
    4:Get more extensions
    5: Download and install Download assistant
    6: Go back to extensions
    7: You will see download assistant clip options
    8: Slect IDM
    9: Save & close

    • It is already integrated to my Google Chrome.. it takes up all the Downloads from it.. But the Problem is the Download never starts.. It Keeps writing Connecting.. And Finally Connection times out..

      • sometime illegitimate copy of IDM can do this possible IDM server detect this and blocks, is like the trial version, after sometime will stop working.

        you may have used wrong proxy server address in the idm (in Download>Options>Proxy tab )

        • thanks..it work again..

    • thanks it works...

Greetings,
Follow these steps:
Integrating Free Download Manager with Google Chrome:
1-After installing Free Download Manager (FDM) close any browsers opened, open FDM press Ctrl+o or from Options menu in FDM click Settings.
2-On the left side in settings below Downloads select Monitoring on the right pane select or check Google Chrome and click OK to save changes.
Integrating Free Download Manager with Firefox
FDM will pick up downloads from Firefox browser automatically if Firefox was installed after FDM provided 'Firefox' has been selected or enabled under Monitoring in FDM settings.
But it is not possible because all users are supposed to using Firefox and other browsers since they installed operating system.So if you installed FDM after Firefox then you need right click on the download link and select 'Copy Link Location' and make sure 'Clipboard' is selected under Monitoring along with 'Firefox' option.Or right click on the link and Download with Free Download Manager in Firefox.
Once you follow above procedure FDM will automatically links copied to clipboard or file will be downloaded with choosing Download with FDM.
Good Luck.
Regards

Hello everybody,
As pointed by maf_pilot, you have to start FDM as administrator to have it take on your downloads from Chrome.
FDM in Windows 8
