I found it hard to resume downloads via browser and since I'm on prepaid internet I didn't want to waste limited data.
I found a sort of workaround by waiting for the download to start on the browser, cancelling it, and copy-pasting it in IDM. Repeating it if the link expires.
But for large files (>1GB) I find it too risky since the downloads end up corrupted and I can't open the zip/rar files.
So I tried the app and was surprised to find it had the option to resume downloads.
I tried it on a 1GB game and had to pause it at 70% percent or so (in the progress bar), but once I resume it the progress bar goes back to the start at 0% without so much as a warning. I felt like I just wasted a bunch of data.
Can I please get an honest answer about how downloading via the app works? Does it behave like a torrent and download parts of a file and merge them? Or does it delete everything and start from scratch?
