Steps on How to Download Torrent Using IDM (Internet Download Manager)
NOTE: See UPDATE X1 at the bottom of this post.
- First you will need to download the torrent file that you wish to download and save it into your computer.
- Then head over to ZZLBox.com and create an account (required), don't worry it's free.
- Now, log-in to your account (after verification) and from the main menu click the Add files(s) button which is located on the top right portion of the site.
- On the File Add screen, you have the choice of adding files by remote URL (.torrent file, info_hash or magnet link) or by a torrent file saved locally. Click Choose Files and browse for the file you have downloaded in Step 1.
- Click the Add files(s) button and it should verify the torrent. There should be a green "OK" after the filename.
- Now click on Files from the left panel and it should show you the files that you have just added. If the file is not showing, click the Refresh button from the top panel.
- At this point, you can now download the file using ZZLBox's download manager but we'll be using IDM for maximum download speed. On the rightmost side of the file, there should be a download button.Right click on the download button and Copy the link address.
- Now, launch IDM and click the Add URL button. Paste the link address that you have copied from ZZLBox and Click OK.
- Save the file on your desired directory and click Start Download to initiate the download process.
And that is how to download torrent using IDM or any supported download manager. I've tested it thoroughly and the download can be resumed without any issues. I'm aware that ZZLBox is still pretty much a beta service at this point, but I find it to be the best in terms of speed. I've explored other options such as Torrific(which is now dead) and ZbigZ (slower speeds and it's frequently down) but ZZLBox just takes the cake.
