IDM (Internet Download Manager) is one of the most used download applications from now until now. Almost every laptop or PC that I found almost 90% use IDM as the main download manager application . That causes why people prefer to use IDM even though there are still many download manager / file download applications that are due to the speed factor and also very simple.
With IDM we can download various types of files very easily. Just call it for youtube videos. When playing a youtube video, an IDM popup menu will appear which allows us to download the video file and this is one of the excellent features of IDM and I really like it myself.
Although IDM has a superior speed than other download managers, it turns out there are still some people who experience problems when using it, the download speed is very low and downloading files takes a long time. And there are some cases where the internet connection is very fast and stable but when downloading using IDM the download speed is very slow.
Before we enter the stage of increasing the speed of IDM , it would be good to know in advance the reasons why IDM is so slow when downloading a file:
Internet connection
This is the main source of reasons why download browsing activities and so on are disrupted. When the internet connection is very bad and unstable, the download speed will be slow, including when using IDM.
Download File Server
This is still not widely understood. Every file that we will download like on Google Drive, Dropbox, Mediafire, Tusfiles and others has different servers. This will affect our IDM download speed. If the server location is too far away from our location, the download speed will be slow and if it is close it will have a better download speed.
Exposed to Speed Limiter
Speed limiter or in Indonesian "Speed limiter" is one feature that has long existed in IDM. The function of this feature will limit the download speed and there are some people who arbitrarily set this feature as a result the download speed is very slow even though the internet speed is very fast.
Using Incorrect DNS
The activity of replacing DNS (Domain Name Server) is one of the usual ways to speed up and stabilize the internet connection, but many people are wrong and carelessly using DNS as a result the DNS that is used actually slows down internet speed. Use Google DNS and OpenDNS .
Streaming While Downloading
Although this is rarely done it turns out that it can cause download speeds. Why is that ? This is because the internet speed will be divided into 2 as a result when downloading files with IDM it will feel slow. Therefore do not get used to downloading files, especially video files on youtube while streaming.
After paying attention to the things that caused the IDM download speed above you have read and understood, now we will go into the stage of increasing the download speed on IDM according to the title of this article. Alright without needing a lot of ado, see the short tutorial from Tekno Match below.
