I am trying to download the .dmg extension file with Internet Download Manager (v. 6.07) on windows 7.
At the time I start the download, the extension is .dmg but after getting download it changes to .bz2 .
Usually, I am facing this problem with larger files otherwise smaller files get downloaded correctly.

I had this same issue several times before. I use chrome and IDM. IDM won't pick some type of files to download.– Tomin JacobOct 21, 2014 at 9:16

After all of this year, somehow this issue still persists to this day. I have installed IDM (latest version 6.38) on my Windows computer and it is not picking the .dmg files in the first place
To solve it...
- Make sure the IDM extension is properly installed in your browser.
- Select the
.dmgfile using your mouse pointer, "Download with IDM" option will appear, just click on that.
(In case, "Download with IDM" option is not appearing, follow the Step 3)
- Open IDM -> Click on the "Add URL" button -> Copy and paste the website address to IDM URL bar -> Put a forward slash ( / ) after that -> Again copy the file name and put it after that slash -> Hit the "OK" button
