Most of the times I've started downloading files which will built up to 15 connection counts, and after each one completes its segment they start dropping down until only 1 connection count is used and still the file downloading process might be half way completed.

I use FDM in MacOS by the way. Perhaps, the way it works is differently to Windows OS. I can't tell if in Windows it does the same thing, however that's the behavior I personally notice when using it on this platform. Hopefully this can be improved in future updates, so FDM can be more dynamic when it comes to reusing connections or intelligently building new ones if there's still a fair amount of the file to be downloaded.

Hello,
I didn't get it. Works fine for me (sorry). It should create more connections in your case. Could you please make a video demonstrating this issue?


Hey, so I managed to caught one of the two issues which seems to be the momentarily download progress complete stops. Hence, this doesn't happen all the time it's mainly random and not related to that website only or file. I've noticed this in other websites as well. It's just random when it happens and in different %. Also, you can see where this file only opened 3 connections max and after it continued the download process from the temp freeze it dropped to two. So, you can see the connection counts are not always created to the default max value of 15.

One thing I wanted to point out is that these temporary download freeze only started happening with the latest build you guys released 6.24.0.5818

This issue and more just happened after last update 6.24 I'm facing crashes and The FDM not catching torrent file from website like before I have to download torrent file from another browser and open it with FDM
Also menubar in macOs become red when FDM start I don't know if this new feature or what but after that color appears in menubar app crashes but not all the time

That's why I request for ver 6.22 to downgrade because this is the best version but I can't find it at all even in any website
If anyone have it please share link with me
6.22 MacOs only

Thanks

Hello,
This server (sample.mp4-download.com) is full of bugs. It's not FDM issue.

Hello,

I can reproduce neither of these issues. I don't think it's caused by 6.23/6.24. It can be something in your system. Nevertheless, I can send you 6.22. But first, could you please send me FDM's crash report (you can copy it from macOS system dialog which is shown when FDM is crashed) ?

Sure bro but I'm using clenmymacX which cleans all log files,
when it crashes again I will send it to you before it's deleted
also, I share video to see the issues in action

This is not FDM issue. It seems it's cloudflare "protection" in action. I've found that it's working when the download is transferred from Firefox web browser. And it's not working when it's transferred from Google Chrome browser. I don't know why and I have no time to investigate further. All I can tell is that everything seems to be working fine from FDM side.

FDM Extension is now causing some websites (such as Reddit, AliExpress and few others) to not load completely or load partially in Edge 127.0.2651.98, and disabling FDM Extension websites load properly.
