The heart wants more than what it already has. If you have ever tried to download something and waited for hours for it to be complete only to realize that the download failed at the last moment, you would know what heartbreaks feel like. People use IDM for enabling faster downloading of files and sometimes, this can be as fast as up to 7 to 8 times the original speed. But in spite of this facility, users are on the lookout for making the process even faster. This leads to people finding and searching for the best possible settings for high-speed downloads.
Users can use IDM for downloading documents, movies, as well as videos from platforms like YouTube and other online sites. Using IDM makes it easier for the user to download whatever content they want and easily choose their preferred quality of the content as well. However, since users want to make IDM even more efficient in facilitating high-speed downloads, here are some tricks for you that we recommend.
Here are some of the IDM best settings for high-speed downloads
You can make some changes in the existing configuration and try these settings on IDM for high-speed downloads. Try these steps and we are sure that you will notice a difference in the download speed.
- Firstly, install and open IDM if you are not doing it currently. After you have launched the IDM, go to the Manager Menu Bar and click/tap on the “Downloads” option. Now go to the “Speed Limiter” option once you see it on your screen and turn off the speed limiter to ensure that the IDM doesn’t run on a certain speed level from the next time.
- Now go to “Downloads” in the previous menu and click open on “Options”. Once that is done, head over to the “Connection” option and there you will see an option called “Connection Type/Speed”. Click on that and set the connection speed to “Lan 10 MBPS”. You also need to reset the “Default max. conn. number” and optimize the download speed by choosing “8” in the settings. Now click on OK and finalize the settings.
- Apart from these two steps, you can also close any work or website that may be continuously running in the background while you need this ultra-high-speed internet. Later, you can choose to open those applications again.
- If you have queued, then close them for the time being. Queued tasks actively require data and can slow down the downloading process. Closing the queued tasks temporarily helps speed up the downloading process.
These are some of the simple changes you can make in the settings to get high-speed downloads using IDM. These settings further enhance the speed of download and help you attain an even greater downloading speed than you might be already enjoying.
