I have installed Internet Download Manager (IDM) on my laptop, it does not take over download from chrome, firefox or IE and download the file through browser. I have re installed IDM , IE, Chrome and firefox too, but the problem still exist.

Any suggestion how i can i solve it ?

You can enable which browsers you want to download takeover in IDM setting. Install IDM after installing browsers. If you can get your hands on, you can also try another set up and check.

can you post a link as an example .. just to test with. Also the version of IDM and IE you're using ? note all severs do not support IM so IDm can't alwys override such server limitations.

No matter what IDM always worked fine for me with IE .. I've been using this combo more than 4 years now.

Isn't there an auto-integration feature available in IDM itself ??? That should take care of all the web-browsers installed.
I never had this issue, and I am also using it since a long time.

Check browser advanced integration. It should solve the problem.

I think there is an option IDM settings to stop automatic downloading.

IDM is no more a sure shot solution for Youtube, instead use keepvid.com. Nothing can beat it, period.

Not sure , but if you are using Chrome and youtube .This might not work.

for youtube nothing beats jdownloader in terms of flexibility & options.it is also a very good option for various other file hosting sites too.only downside is that it requires java but you can bypass this by downloading the portable zip/archive version which comes with its own java files & you just need to extract the files & double click the jdownloaderportable.exe to run it.
