What is a .DLM file?
A .DLM file is a type of file that you might see on your computer when you are downloading something big from the internet, but it's not fully downloaded yet. It stands for Akamai Download Manager File. This means that the file is being downloaded using a special program called Akamai Download Manager. While the file is still downloading, it has this .DLM extension to show that it's not complete. Once the download is all done, the .DLM part of the file name goes away, and it changes back to what it was supposed to be originally, like .mp3 for music or .pdf for a document.
To open a .DLM file, you would use the Akamai Download Manager. This program is good for downloading very large files because it makes the download go faster and more smoothly. If something goes wrong and the .DLM file doesn't change back to its original file type on its own after the download is finished, you can change it yourself by renaming the file.
In summary, .DLM files are just temporary files for when you're downloading something big with Akamai Download Manager. You don't really open them with a program the way you would with other types of files. Instead, they should automatically become the right type of file once the download is completely done.
