How to get rid of 204 Intercepted requests of IDM ?

[Javier Lavandeira]

Hi Shahzaib,

I don't think there's much to do on the server side. This is a third party client-side application that is taking over downloads. Maybe you could somewhat mitigate the problem by adding/changing some MIME types, but probably that wouldn't help much in this case.

I would tell your users to uninstall IDM.

Regards,
