When I try to resume a download from one site, IDM says that server sends HTML page instead or report some other error. What is the problem? Probably this. The only thing FDM downloads is the html file with the name watch. Right-click on the link of that particular file download link. I too, tried just pasting the link to FDM directly but failed, and then found this solution. Basically YouTube often change the layout of the page and this breaks programs and websites which are. The chrome on my mac directly ask for downloading html files instead of opening the link whenever I clicked on any links. I have already tried.
Download failed html page instead of file - seems
PROBLEMS WITH SOME OTHER SPECIFIC SITES, NOT SHARING ONES
When I try to download from some site, IDM show me error message that this site does not allow requesting a link second time. How should I use IDM with this site?
1. Please make sure that you have installed the latest version of IDM.
2. Some sites/servers do not allow requesting the same file twice. The browser made the first request of the file and then when IDM tried to request the same file again, the site sent a web page to IDM instead of the download. That is the reason for the error message.
To download from such sites try to enable "Start downloading immediately while displaying " option in "Options->Downloads" dialog (if it is disabled).
If it does not help, you can set a special key in "IDM Options->General->Keys". Press and hold this key while clicking on a download link/button so that IDM could take over the download before the first browser request. Note that "Ins" key should work for most browsers.
