Is there really no definitive way to safely use IDM pirated version? Like a script or safe pre-cracked file? Everytime I download them from any sites, it's another virus.

Can you guys recommend a site to download IDM?

I use the Trial Reset for IDM from the Megathread: https://rentry.co/megathread-tools

Have you tried JDownloader?

The only real crack for IDM is the Ali.dbg one. Rest usually don't get updated and cause issues, make sure to fully uninstall IDM before installing a new version (using: Bulk Crap Uninstaller, Revo Uninstaller, etc...)

Btw, Free Download Manager is something to consider, it's opensource, free, without any tracking/ads 🐂💩 (With integration for FireFox and Chrome or any browser based on these two.)

  • never pay for a software that spends more time creating problems instead of improving their product.

It's not open source anymore

[–] Sleepnut@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You are right, I've mistaken o( ̄▽ ̄)ブ it seems they no longer shared the source code with the public around 2016 (what ever came after version 3.x) but they forgot to remove GNU-GPL from their website until 2020... still, it's the best alternative I managed to find for IDM. There's a bunch more like Motrix, uGet, Jdownloader etc... but they're too finicky for me to deal with... I would love to get some recommendation if anyone has one...

Isn’t it like $25 for a lifetime?

Is your time not worth that?

[–] CaptnMIHAWK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

That's actually true... I'm actually thinking about buying it. But just can't ATM. That's why I've been looking for a temporary crack that'll get me through 2 months or so without the fake key message.

I use JDownloader 2, is IDM better than jD2?

[–] B3_CHAD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

More user friendly and simple to use I would say. Speeds are great btw.

I've been using the one from lrepacks. It's one of the trusted sites on FMHY.
