Good evening,

I just downloaded a 5GB compressed file with IDM, but it gets stuck after 100% of the download; it's the file assembly stage, I believe. Here is a photo.

Thank you

    It's depressing to have to re-download a 5 GB file with a slow connection haha, and indeed they are two files and of course I select both and extract them to... to have one single file, but thank you for taking the time to explain this little detail even though I already know it.
    Thank you :D

    Hello,

    1- The archive part 1 might be corrupted (''dammage'' on your screenshot below), this happens sometimes.
    You downloaded your archive (Hippo...?) from a crack site, which is common when you have part 1, part 2, part 3..., it's not complete.
    Often they are copied from other outdated sites.
    Please copy/paste the site in question in your next message.

    2- Not enough disk space on your PC

    3- Try downloading the file by temporarily disabling the antivirus or another security application.

    4- Temporary directory IDM
    Simply change the temporary directory located at:
    Open IDM → Download → Options
    Tab → Save as
    At the bottom of the window section → Temporary directory
    Then → Browse
    Choose a different location.
    Create a temporary folder in your Downloads folder

    5- Run IDM as administrator.

    6- Change the Max connections number to 1
    Open IDM → Download → Options
    Tab → Connection
    Section → Max connection number

    7- Proxy
    IDM → Download → Options
    Tab→ Proxy/Socks
    Tick or select the line → Use system settings
    Then OK
    Restart your download.

    8- Empty the DwnlData directory
    To do this, you need to Show hidden files and folders
    Then go to:
    Drive C: \ User \ "your user account" \ AppData \ Roaming \ IDM \ DwnlData
    Open the DwnlData folder
    Delete everything.
    Sometimes you will see your name in a folder, open it and delete the contents.
    Restart the download.


    A+

    Hello,

    Thank you very much, sorry for not posting in the appropriate forum, I didn't get a response so I re-downloaded the file and this time it worked without any problem. I will try these suggestions if I encounter this issue again.

    Thank you and have a great day! :D

    It could have been the file size in your case 5GB, it's a large file as an archive.
    To assemble if you have for example a part 2 you need to select both archives highlighted and then right-click extract to... This way part 1 will look for part 2 from the other archive to decompress it into a single file or folder if you prefer.
    WinRAR or 7-Zip to unzip.
    Thank you for the feedback.
    Have a great rest of the day.
