What is a .FDMDOWNLOAD file?
An FDMDOWNLOAD file is a type of file that you might see on your computer if you are using a program called Free Download Manager, specifically version 5 or newer. This program helps you download files from the Internet more efficiently. When you start downloading something using Free Download Manager, it creates a special file with the ending ".fdmdownload" to show that the download isn't finished yet. This file contains part of the data from the file you're downloading, but it's not complete.
The ".fdmdownload" part at the end of the file's name is just a temporary marker. It's there to let you and the program know that the download isn't done. Once the download is fully complete, Free Download Manager will remove this marker and you'll have the full file ready to use.
These FDMDOWNLOAD files are similar to other types of files like .CRDOWNLOAD and .TORCHDOWNLOAD, which you might see if you're downloading something through a web browser instead of using a download manager.
To open an FDMDOWNLOAD file, you really just need to use Free Download Manager. This program is available for computers and also for Android devices. However, you usually don't need to open an FDMDOWNLOAD file directly. Instead, you wait for Free Download Manager to finish downloading your file. Once it's done, the program will automatically change the FDMDOWNLOAD file into the final file you were downloading.
You'll typically find FDMDOWNLOAD files in your computer's Downloads folder. They appear when a download is in progress or if it was stopped before finishing, like if you paused the download, closed the program, or lost your Internet connection. It's important to note that the size shown for an FDMDOWNLOAD file might not be accurate. For example, if the file shows it's 4GB, but only 2GB of the download is complete, that's because the program is expecting the file to be 4GB when it's fully downloaded.
