Tired of slow downloads from Telegram? You’re in the right place! Telegram has become a go-to spot for finding and sharing all sorts of content, from viral videos to essential files. While it’s fantastic for chatting, its public channels and groups have really turned it into a powerhouse for discovering trending stuff.
But when it comes to downloading these files, especially large ones, directly from Telegram can sometimes feel a bit sluggish. That’s where Internet Download Manager (IDM) comes in handy! This powerful tool can seriously boost your download speeds and help you manage all your Telegram downloads much more efficiently. Ready to speed things up? Let’s dive in.
How to Get Direct Download Links for Telegram Files and Videos
To supercharge your downloads with IDM, you first need to grab a direct link for the Telegram file. Don’t worry, it’s simpler than it sounds! Here’s your step-by-step guide:
-
- First, open your Telegram app, whether you’re on your phone or using the desktop version.
- In the search bar, look for “@GetPublicLinkBot”. You might also find “@HHTGFilezDLBot” or “@Link4FilesBot” helpful.
- Tap on the bot to open a chat with it.
- Click the “Start” button to get the bot working.
- Now, find the Telegram file you want to download and simply forward it to this bot.
- In just a moment, the bot will send you back a direct download link for your file. Magic!
If that specific bot isn’t working for you, don’t worry! You can try alternatives like Files to Link, Files to Link Pro, Files to Link Premium, or Get Public Link Bot. They also do the trick, though some might be a bit slower.
Downloading Telegram Files with IDM for Maximum Speed
Once you’ve got that shiny direct download link, it’s IDM’s time to shine! Let’s get that file downloaded super fast:
-
- Copy the link that the Telegram bot gave you.
- Open Internet Download Manager (IDM) on your computer and click on the “Add URL” option.
- Paste the copied link into the URL field. Important: If the link ends with “.html” for some reason, remove that part!
- Click “Start Download” and watch IDM do its magic, accelerating your download.
Alternatively, if you prefer using your web browser:
- Open the direct link you got from the bot in your web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge).
- If you have the IDM browser extension installed and enabled, you should see a small download popup appear, ready to capture the download.
- Simply click on that popup, and IDM will take over the download process!
If you find that the IDM Integration Module isn’t installed in your browser, don’t worry! You can easily add the IDM extension to Chrome, Opera, Brave Browser, Opera GX, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge by following the guides available on our website.
Downloading Files from Private Telegram Groups
Accessing files from private Telegram groups is a bit different since you can’t use public bots. But Telegram has a built-in feature for this!
- Open your Telegram application.
- Go to Settings.
- Navigate to Advanced, then select “Export Telegram Data.”
- In the pop-up window, make sure to select only “Private Groups.”
- Uncheck “Only my messages” if you want to include all chat history, not just your own messages.
- Choose the specific types of data you want to download (like photos, videos, files, etc.).
- Select a convenient destination folder on your computer where you want the exported data to be saved.
- Click “Export” to start the process.
FAQs
How can you increase Telegram download speed?
- Definitely use a dedicated download manager like IDM or Free Download Manager. They are built for speed!
- Always ensure you have a strong, stable, and fast internet connection. A patchy Wi-Fi signal won’t help.
- If possible, try downloading larger files during off-peak hours when fewer people are using the internet, as this can reduce network congestion.
- Using Telegram’s desktop app instead of the web version can sometimes provide faster and more stable download speeds.
How can you download videos from Telegram web?
- Open the Telegram Web version in your browser.
- Find the video you want to download.
- You can often right-click directly on the video and select “Save video as…” to download it through your browser. Alternatively, if you have a browser extension like “Video DownloadHelper,” it might detect the video for download.
- As another option, you can use one of the Telegram download bots we mentioned earlier to get a direct link for the video, and then either use your browser’s download feature or IDM to save it.
By following these methods, you’ll be able to efficiently download Telegram files, videos, and more at higher speeds. Whether you’re using a web browser like Google Chrome, your smartphone, or the desktop application, these tips will help you get your content faster with your preferred download manager!
