i use internet download manager 5.15 latest version. im trying to download from adrive. but when ever idm starts the download the file gets turn to an html of the page. ive downloaded before and it worked fine. now its all just html.
 
the download managers end up "saving the link as", rather than "saving the target as". hence, it saves the html file that links the web that you are at and the file, not the file. the way i have found to circumvent this problem is to right click --> properties, copy the link, and use a direct download via link to download the file.
