Now you can close your Command Prompt and move to the start button and right click on it, now you will see this hidden menu, from here choose run, now type in “ping space less than sign, now past the IPv4 Address that you just copied from the Command Prompt, now type greater than, space -t” Now click ok and you will see your CMD flashing, And that’s all you can do here.

Once you installed the IDM Manager open it and head over to the downloads menu, from the menu choose option and you will get to the IDM configuration, from here navigate to the connection tab and look for the option connection type or speed, click on it and choose High-speed direct connection option, now go the max connection number and choose 32, which is the highest connections you can possibly get here.
