Starting and stopping queues
When IDM queue is started, IDM downloads one or several files from the queue at the same time. The number of files to download at the same time can be set for each queue individually on
Scheduler -> "Files in the queue" tab.
You can also start (stop) queue processing with the following ways:
- you can press "Start Queue" and "Stop queue" on the main IDM toolbar to start and stop main download queue
- you can use drop-down buttons located near "Start Queue" and "Stop queue" buttons on the toolbar to start/stop other queues. When you click on drop-down buttons, IDM shows the list of queues to select from.
- you can pick "Downloads->Start Queue->[Corresponding Queue name]" or "Downloads->Stop Queue->[Corresponding Queue name]" menu items from IDM main menu
- you can pick Start or Stop menu items from queue context menu in the list of queues in "Categories" window
- you can start and stop queues in Scheduler dialog using "Start Now" and "Stop" buttons
- you can also schedule the time to start the queue as well as the time to stop queue processing on Scheduler dialog
