I saw that file with 99.9% percentage downloaded which is 58.85GB WinRAR Zip Archive. I went to IDM download list to see what happened. I tried to open it with WinRAR and it said archive is corrupt as I thought because it is incomplete. The UPS shut the PC down well and I started it again.Ī file called 'Backup_DATA.zip' is in the location where I chosen to save this file which is 17.3GB. This means some downloaded files are in IDM temporary location and some other parts whose appended by IDM previously are in other location when I chosen to save the file after download completed.

I felt to kill myself as the downloaded file will corrupt after next restart because file is half-appended. Then the power code of the system unit which leads to the system PSU is shooked highly by hitting my hand and power is gone suddenly. I became happy and sit in the chair very fast. What happened is, when IDM appending those file parts nearly at 10GB, a mistake was done by me. When I reached 99.99% in download progress of IDM of that file, IDM told download is complete and appending all downloaded file parts into one file as it usually does. I recently downloaded a large Zip file from internet.
