When many people use Internet Download Manager (IDM) to download files, they often encounter theSlow download speeds and blocked resourcesof the problem. This is where proxy IPs can come in handy, especially for things likeipipgoThis kind of multi-protocol proxy service, today we will break up the broken talk about how to operate.
Why Proxy IP with IDM
For example, you pull resources from foreign websites, the server may restrict access to domestic IP. This time through the proxy IPSwitch to the network outlet of the target region, the download success rate is directly doubled. The actual test with ipipgo's static residential IP to download the oil pipe video, the speed from 50kb/s soared to 8MB/s.
// IDM proxy settings path:

How to choose a ipipgo package without stepping on the line
Based on my experience of three months of real-world testing:
- Dynamic residential (standard): Suitable for general downloads, $7.67/GB is enough for a month
- Static homesThis is the one to go for if you want a stable, long-term download. 35 bucks guaranteed, no IP changes.
- Enterprise users go straight toDynamic Residential (Business), $9.47/GB with exclusive access
Guidelines on demining of common problems
Q: What should I do if the test agent shows failure?
A: First check if the account is in arrears, then make sure the protocol type is not selected wrong. ipipgo's HTTP and Socks5 ports are separate, don't confuse them.
Q: What should I do if the download cuts off in the middle?
A:In this case, it is likely that the dynamic IP has expired, in the ipipgo client, tap"Change IP immediately."Just reconnect in IDM.
Q: How can I avoid downloads being speed-limited?
A: Here's the point! In the IDM settings put"Maximum number of connections"Change it to 16 and with ipipgo's TK line, the speed will pull the full bandwidth cap.
Hidden Tips
In IDM'sSite Crawl RulesIf you want to set up an exception list, for example, exclude Baidu.com disk from the proxy. In this way, you can use the proxy to accelerate foreign resources, without affecting the normal access to domestic websites, but also to save proxy traffic. ipipgo client comes with aIntelligent Triagefunction, set up a good whitelist can save 30% traffic charges.
The last thing I want to say is, don't use a free proxy to get cheap, I've tested more than a dozen free IPs before, and either the speed is crotch pulling or disconnected every three to five times. ipipgo this kind of pay by volume is reliable, how much to use how much to count, and the new user can also get a 3 yuan experience coupon, enough to download the 200GB of data.
