I downloaded IDM and downloaded some files.It is really fastest download manager because of dynamic segmentation(read more about this...).

But I have one prob. I tried to download 2 GB Ultimate Edition 2.2 .But I could not.Because the IDM reported less than 2 GB space in C: drive. I tried to store the file in D: drive(5 GB free space) but again a message popped up saying not enough space in C:drive to store parts of file.This means that IDM first downloads file in parts somewhere on disk.Then it joins them.

@Power Downloader

Open IDM. Go to "Downloads" Menu-> Options -> "Save to" Tab

You will find two different options for changing download location here.

1) Default Download Location. This is the locations where you want to save your files. You can change it here or laer when you wish to download something.

2) Temporary Directory. You need to change this to a Drive where you have enough space. This is where IDM stores the file parts you are talking about.

Change this to D: (or any drive with enough space)

Your Problem will be solved.

Thanks.

Thanks saurav and puchu .Problem Solved.

I don't like the technique of first downloading a file in parts and then joining them.Suppose while joining 4 GB file my computer restarts,then the whole file is gone.Can I change this behaviour ?.

I have one more question . How can I download same file from multiple sources at the same time using IDM ? . I can do that easily in Free Down. Manager . If IDM can do this I will permanently switch to it.

Simply click the download link. If advance browser integration is On, it will take over download. If the URL is not the same, you can download the same file from other locations also.

I used FDM recently. In FDM if we set a default download location, it saves all files to the same folder. It do not ask. In case of IDM, it will ask for confirmation for each file. We can change them if we wish.

Many people advised me to go for IDM. But I refuse to use a pirated copy. I am not a heavy downloader anyway, so no point in purchasing. DAP is doing the job for me and I am satisfied.

DAP is also good!
IDM is also good!
FDM is also good!
every download manager is good!

point is which download manager is have more features!
because
i have tried all major download managers i didnt found nothing difference in all those!
i use Home500 plan so when i tried all those i nearly get speed between 220 to 235KBps!

not single download manager goes down below 200KBps not above 235KBps!

now
major used download managers are DAP & IDM because of there more features & more people use it like windows nothing more than that!
