The only real crack for IDM is the Ali.dbg one. Rest usually don't get updated and cause issues, make sure to fully uninstall IDM before installing a new version (using: Bulk Crap Uninstaller, Revo Uninstaller, etc...)

Btw, Free Download Manager is something to consider, it's opensource, free, without any tracking/ads 🐂💩 (With integration for FireFox and Chrome or any browser based on these two.)

• never pay for a software that spends more time creating problems instead of improving their product.

Isn’t it like $25 for a lifetime?

Is your time not worth that?

Have you tried JDownloader?

I use the Trial Reset for IDM from the Megathread: https://rentry.co/megathread-tools

The best way to use idm would be some kind of "trial reset". It used to work great, but when I made my own money I purchased it so I don't know about the state, could still be working now

I've been using the one from lrepacks. It's one of the trusted sites on FMHY.

I use JDownloader 2, is IDM better than jD2?

The one by scene group BTCR worth the try, you can get it from scnlog.
