Idm only download 1 file at a time

Note that the queue will stop independently of "Start download at" checkbox state. If IDM cannot download a file, it places the file to the end of the queue and starts to download a next file. If the file that IDM cannot download is left alone in the queue, IDM will retry to download the file infinitely with 30 seconds interval between retries until it downloads the file eventually.

Sometimes there are files in the queue that cannot be downloaded at all, for example, when they were deleted from a site. In this case IDM will retry to download them indefinitely anyway. If you want to limit the number of download attempts for such files, and possibly you may want IDM to do some actions on download completion for other files in the queue, you should check "Number of retries for each file if downloading failed" checkbox and set the required number of download attempts.

You can schedule some actions on finishing queue processing. To hang up your modem check "Hang up modem when done" checkbox. If you check "Turn off computer when done" option IDM will shutdown your computer after processing download queue. Use "Force processes to terminate" option with caution, since this can cause other applications to lose data.

Also you can open a file or run a program after finish processing a queue. If you want to run several files on completion of a queue, you can create a batch. BAT file and specify it in "Open the following file when done".

Please note that all these actions won't be started if queue processing has been stopped manually. In "Files in the queue" tab you can see and change the order of files in the queue. You can also delete download tasks from the queue with "Delete" button. Later you can add the file to download queue in the main window by right clicking on file name and picking "Add to Queue" item or with other ways.

Note that complete files won't be placed to download queues, only to synchronization queues. After starting a queue processing IDM starts downloading one file or several files at the same time from the queue. You can set the number of downloaded files at the same time for each queue individually in the corresponding list box. There are sites that don't allow opening more than one connection from one computer.

If you want to download several files from such site, you should create a separate queue for this site and set "Download 1 file at the same time" on this tab. Post thread. Started by Wdawg Nov 3, Replies: 2.
