HOW TO IDM SPEED INCREASE

To increase your speed: 

1. Try to close other applications which may download at the same time. 

2. Try to download from a mirror site. 

3. Check your IDM connection settings:

3.1. If you are on a broadband connection, please try to select a high bandwidth connection type in "Options->Connection" dialog. You should try to increase "Default max. conn. number" on the same dialog . Try to set "Default max. conn. number" to 16 or 32. Also you may need to select a faster connection type at the same dialog. IDM does not open new connections if set conneciton speed is already reached. 

3.2. If you are using Dial-Up, try to set a lower number of connections in IDM options (Default max. conn. number). Try to set it to 1 or 2 . 

4. Try to schedule downloads and download at a night time. 

5. Don't forget to check with your ISP your bandwidth limits and download speeds.
