About this extension
Open With Internet Download Manager is a browser extension that enables you to open and download a desired item with an Internet Download Manager (IDM) application.

To operate with this add-on you need a native-client patch to connect your browser with native IDM application in your OS. Please read the following to get more info on how to install native-client and operate with this add-on.

1) after installing the add-on, you need to connect it with native applications (i.e. IDM) on your machine. If you do not have IDM, please head to (internetdownloadmanager.com/download.html) and install IDM on your machine. Once you have IDM, you need to make the connection between IDM and your browser.

2) to make this connection, a separate patch is provided in GitHub. Please download and install this patch from: https://github.com/alexmarcoo/open-in-native-client/releases
