How to Disable Automatic update of Internet Download Manager v6.11.
thank you.
thank you.
Disable Automatic update of IDM
Just hit cancel when it asks to download new ver..
Why isn't there any option to "Disable Automatic updates" like a normal software!!
i know this one . but it is not my question's answer.
Cause, IDM is a piece of crap. Thats it.
Use DownThemAll FF addon. Million times better.
*#*#*# I just read
Use FDM FTW.
H
No it is not crap.Internet download manager is the most common software for downloading.
@ramakanta: why do you want to disable auto update btw? Ain't it better to have an updated version with all the bug-fixes?
^May be, He is using a pirated version.
I think you must have update it when asked.
Also if you don't like to update just cancel it!
my internet have limited of bandwidth. i have update it from ver 5.xx to till now . then why i will do it always. every 6 to 15 days messages displayed to update. it booring. why not i will use IE7Pro(Mini DM). it is far better.
excuse me . it is kind to inform that you, i am not using a pirate ver , like 60% in the world using pitate version of softwares, even OS .
i will use it for at least two to three year due to i have invest some money about it. thank you.
One more reason to avoid this software. 
It's still the best DM out there.
^^ What IDM has and FDM doesn't ??
^^ Download Speed
^^ Wrong. A DM can't increase your speed it totally depends on the plan you have opted for. However a DM can show you fake speed to keep you happy.
By that way, there's no need for DM anyway, the browser built-in ones should download at equal speed.
And Opera can double up as torrent client too.

IDM Splits a File into Pieces and then download it
+1 Damn True!
1. Open regedit.exe
2. Go to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DownloadManager\LastCheck
3. Change the date to any future date of your choice e.g. 16/06/23
5. Close regedit.
4. Restart IDM.
IDM won't check for updates for additional 15 days from the date you have entered.
Enjoy!

Not exactly. If connection is interrupted then Opera restarts the download many times while FDM resumes.
FDM also does that.
Every DM splits files into pieces and then download, also each one of them have resuming capabilities provided the server supports the same.

I think there's something about utilizing the max available bandwidth, which from my experience IDM does best. Same goes for torrent clients too, I think. Not all of them download the same torrent at same speed. Of course, you are ultimately limited by your connection.
Also IDM's footprint is lower and integration with various browsers is tad better. And frequent updates ensure little problem with newer browsers including alpha, beta builds.
That said, FDM is as good as it gets, and with a better feature list too. And above all it's free.

There is no option to "LastCheck"

I have used both and from my experience both gives same results, at least in my case they were same. I stopped using IDM as I don't have to pirate and I was getting better option for free.

Different people, different perspective.
I have found the difference, particularly in non-bb connections (like EVDO). Click on (select) the DownloadManager, scroll down the right hand pane, you will find LastCheck.

good one.
IDM speeds are great.It can, when you are sharing the connection. You will really enjoy when you steal bandwith from your roomies.
@OP. I am using a method so that it do not auto update. I blocked the idm program in firewall. You can try that. Not sure if it will work on paid version.

I don't share my network.

this not going to block IDM normal downloads ?
If he blocks a particular process related to update only then it won't affect downloads.
