Browser integration

What is browser integration?
Internet Download Accelerator integrates with browser to simplify adding a download and ease your work. After integration is enabled Internet Download Accelerator will automatically intercept Internet Explorer downloads and integrates to the browser context menu.

Fast integration control
Click with the right mouse the IDA icon in the system tray and choose the Disable browser integration item from the appeared menu. By this you can temporarily disable IDA if you want to download a file in the standard (much slower) way. To re-enable IDA again, right click the tray icon once again and choose the Enable browser integration from the menu.

If you want to disable IDA only for a particular download please hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the file link in the browser.

Integration options
To tune the integration options open the options dialog box and click the "General" tab and choose "Integration".

( i ) After integration into the browser, you must give the extension the requested permissions and pin the extension button to the panel.

Chrome
If you check the flag, IDA will intercept Chrome downloads. Two items, Download with IDA and Download All with IDA, will be added to the Chrome context menu.

Firefox
If you check the flag, IDA will intercept Mozilla Firefox and Netscape Navigator downloads. Two items, Download with IDA and Download All with IDA, will be added to the Firefox context menu.

Edge

If extended integration is enabled then in most cases downloads will be intercepted regardless of the specified list (Internet Explorer 6.0 and above only). However even if extended integration is enabled some sites will be ignored correctly, for example sites with scripts as exe-files.

Guaranteed link capture
If you want to provide guaranteed link capture by IDA on your site (for MSIE) you can use the following request parameter (download=ida). To transfer a file description to the program use (description=...). For example: https://westbyte.com/cgi-bin/click/clicksql.cgi?l=532&download=ida&description=Skin XPstyle__Creator Egik;
