    i agree adnan shabbir .. this IDM shit doesn't work with chrome while downloading youtube videos....

  • Adnan Shabbir

    dear mates
    all this process are only valid to download files through IDM only from few web sites like rapidshare,megaupload,hotfiles etc
    it cant help you to download youtube videos and also you cant see the IDM options when you right clik on any where in the browsers like mozilla and IE
    so dont need to make jump across the river
    wait until chrome allow the proper integration of download managers
    Regards

      Some versions of IDM do not show "Download Button" on videos, you can simply right-click on a page and choose "Download FLV Video With IDM"
