How to download multiple files at the same time using IDM
Isn’t it very difficult to download a file out of tens or even hundreds of files one at a time? For example downloading a file on FTP, Website or others. However, this can be minimized with the help of IDM.
Internet Download Manager or abbreviated as IDM Function to download dozens of files at a time. This is a nifty feature that helps users save time just to download lots of files.
What is needed is just a collection of links. In this way, IDM can immediately identify each file to be downloaded from the collection of copied links. Note, however, that this feature also has its limitations.

Download dozens of files at once with IDM
I think by reading the article above, the user will have understood what it takes to do this. That is only a collection of copied links. If users are still confused, please check out the tutorial below.
First, the user needs to copy each URL onto the notepad. Make sure the url is pasted per line or for example like this.
If so, the user can simply copy all of the links by pressing the button CTRL + A then press CTRL + C.
Now open IDM and press Options task => Add multiple downloads from the clipboard at the same time.
IDM automatically recognizes each link sooner and the user can press the button Check all to select all files. And continue by pressing the button OK.
Still not done, there will definitely be a dialog for the queue, just select as Queue synchronization. Then press the button again OK.
Now the download will definitely be carried out.
Since the above is just a tutorial, the image shown is limited to just a few links. But believe me, the download function of this IDM can download up to hundreds of files at one time.

Limitations when using the download function in IDM at the same time
As I said earlier, this feature has limitations too. That the user cannot download a link. Because this feature is only for public link or so direct connection or a link that does not require access Browser cookies.
So the user has to make sure that the link to be downloaded is really public and does not require authentication, as this will only be more difficult for the user later.
And the above method uses options Queue synchronizationso that files can be downloaded all at once and this requires a bit of a large connection when each file is large in size.
However, the user can also change the options Queue synchronization may vary depending on the status of your internet connection. If you have any questions about any of the above, please comment.
Hopefully useful and good luck
