Every time my IDM (internet download manager) starts, I see only 8 threads running. How can I run 32 threads at the same time ? 
Thanks IDM super users and developers.
Thanks IDM super users and developers.IDM - how to increase downloading thread number
In summary, the conversation suggests that the IDM team recommends not changing the thread count to more than 8 as it may be considered offensive by some servers and lead to rejected server requests. However, if the user still wishes to change the thread count, they can visit the provided link for instructions.

I suggest that you don't change it to no more than 8 threads. Because some servers might find more threads other than 8 will be offensive and they might reject server requests. Whereas the IDM team suggests that users should not change the thread count. Or if you still wish to change go to http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/register/new_faq/functions8.html page.Pepper Mint said:Every time my IDM (internet download manager) starts, I see only 8 threads running.
