almost everyone uses IDM to download because its fast but due to some factors we don't maximize the fastness of IDM, these factors is mainly slow ISP especially in country.
so in this post I'll show you how to increaae your IDM download speed to the highest it can.
here's how..

open/launch your IDM, then click on options at the top, it'll open where you can change some settings,
then you click on the tab labeled 'connection' after that, you come down to a drop down list labeled 'Connection type/speed' click on the drop down list then you select the last option on the list.
you go down to the next drop down list labeled 'default maximum connection Number ' you click on it and select 32.

after doing all the above you click 'OK' and its done.

I've been using this and its cool I even used it on s DNS connection, everyone knows DNS is damn slow

if you don't understand you can go to the SOURCE for pictorial explanation.

Nice information. It's very useful tips to improve my internet speed. Now i have better internet speed. Finally i checked my internet speed using the site ScanMySpeed.com

Some sites do not allow more than 8-12 connections. There is nothing you can do to increase the speed in such cases. If the site allows more than 12 connections I don't even bother to use idm. I use bitcomet. Faster than jet. So fast your eyes will bulge.
Peace
