How to Block Automatically Appearing URLs in IDM
IDM is an application that helps us download a file, with its very perfect features, making IDM in great demand by people. However, when using IDM, of course, we have received download notifications suddenly, even though we are not downloading anything. Especially if this download notification appears continuously, of course it will be very annoying, just a real example, usually some people often get sudden download notifications from Steam.
Steps to block unwanted URLs in IDM:
1. Open IDM, then select “Options”
2. Go to “File Types”, then select “Edit List”
3. Press “Add”, then enter the annoying or frequently appearing URL along with the file type to block such as .zip, .rar, .gz, etc.
Example : “http://clientconfig.akamai.steamstatic.com/*.gz”
4. Finally “Ok – Ok – Ok” is done
5. Done now it’s blocked
Notes:
If a download notification appears again, but with a different URL, it can be blocked again using the method above
