Hey, anyone here use IDM?

I have noticed a stange problem when using IDM.

TDF page gets blank when using IDM. I have to refresh number of times to get the page.

Here's a screenshot :

As you can see in the above image, 3 Tabs of TDF didn't load. I have to keep refreshing them until they loads :(

Well it may seems idiotic, but I have noticed the same in my home pc, office pc and another laptop from office too.

When I didn't have IDM installed it was working fine, even after uninstalling IDM, it started working fine.

So I came into a conclusion that this problem is only with IDM.

Also another strange thing is, this thing only happens with TDF, not any other forums.

Anyone have any idea regarding this?

Google chrome tendency to go blank while switching in multiple tabs or sometime in single tabs to.
another thing could be that yo uare downloading too much and browser doesn't gets much bandwidth so check that.
i'm using IDM 6.6 no issue except it's not downloading videos from youtube ); file not found error.

I'm using IDm and I'm not facing any such issue. maybe updating chrome and idm can solve the issue.

No. I'm not downloading anything. And as I mentioned, this is not just the case with my Home PC. It's same on my Office PC and Office Laptop too.

So I thought it may be some issue with IDM Extension on Chrome or IDM itself.

As I already said, if I uninstall IDM, everything seems to be fine.

Both Chrome and IDM is updated on all the PC's still facing the issue.

Looks like I have to live without IDM :(

Don't know what's causing this.

Most of time my browser(mozilla) shows "encoding error" or mixed page source file whenever I tries to access TDF... is it due to IDM ?!

Maybe adding HTML file is IDMs exceptions may work.

is it really idm??? :shock:
i too get frequent problems while opening TDF, but i always thought it to be a DNS problem, like page not getting loaded properly, but it corrects itself after 1-2 refreshes:

mostly problem is with TDF only, though sometimes Google also faces this problem, like search text bar appearing just like a small box i upper left corner.. :(
I'm using Firefox with updated IDM..

Using IDM, works fine for me. May be you should remove browser support from settings and check again. To confirm if it is really IDM issue. Ya, TDF made my OS hang in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS sometime back.

Yeah. The issue is only with Chrome. Firefox runs fine. But I don't wish to switch my Browser Preference. I can live without IDM.

Reinstalled IDM. Lets see what happens.

Lets hope for the best.

The problem is not solved :(

Tried all possible things, from disabling enabling IDM extension to re-install, adding tdf to exclusions etc. None worked.

The problem is really strange. The problem is only with Chrome and on TDF. All other forums working fine on Chrome. Even TDF is working fine on FF too.

Looks like I'll be using TDF from firefox and for other things I'll rely on Chrome. :(

Don't even know whom to report. TDF or IDM or Chrome itself..!!

After installing IDM, try disabling other add-ons/plug-ins one by one (eg Adblock). May be some other add-on/plug-in is interfering with IDM plug-in.

I'm not using any other plugin like Adblock etc.

For now, I have re-installed IDM, and the problem is not solved but reduced. Now the occurrence of blank page is reduced. I guess I have to live with that.

Try clearing you cache (every thing since the beginning of time), if you haven't already.

@krishna: can u check it on more browsers such as Safari,IE etc?

uninstall IDM and Chrome..then clean the registry using CCleaner & Jetclean and then reinstall Chrome + IDM (don't install addons yet) and check for the issue
